Abstract

A motor control device includes an inverter, a power device temperature obtaining unit, a motor temperature obtaining unit, a power device temperature determination level storage unit, a motor temperature determination level storage unit, a PWM frequency storage unit that stores at least two PWM frequencies including a high PWM frequency a low PWM frequency, a power device temperature determining unit that determines whether or not a temperature of a power device is equal to or higher than a power device temperature determination level, a motor temperature determining unit that determines whether or not a temperature of a motor is equal to or higher than the motor temperature determination level, and a PWM frequency selecting unit that selects a PWM frequency to be given as a command to the inverter.
