Abstract

A drive device that includes a current sensor that detects a current flowing in the wheel driving rotary electric machine; and shunt resistors that detect currents flowing in the respective second switching element units for the corresponding phases between the direct-current power supply and the second switching element units for the respective phases, wherein a ratio of a period during which current detection can be performed by the current sensor to a control period of the first inverter is higher than a ratio of a period during which current detection can be performed by the shunt resistors to a control period of the second inverter.
