Abstract

A control device of a three phase AC motor includes: an inverter for driving the motor; a current sensor for sensing current in a sensor phase of the motor; and a controller for switching multiple switching elements in the inverter to control the current of the motor. The controller includes: a revolution number calculation device for calculating the revolution number of the motor; a three-phase voltage command operation device for operating three phase voltage commands to be applied to the motor based on a current command and an electric angle; and a current concentration determination device for determining whether a current concentration is caused based on the three phase voltage commands when the revolution number is not more than a predetermined revolution number. In the current concentration, current not less than a predetermined threshold value flows continuously for a predetermined period in one or more phases of the inverter.
