Abstract

A motor drive control device includes a three-phase rectifier; a boosting circuit including a reactor, a switching element, and a backflow preventing element and boosts a direct-current bus voltage supplied from the three-phase rectifier; a smoothing capacitor; an inverter circuit; a boosting control unit; an inverter control unit; and a circuit protecting unit suppresses a ripple current flowing through the smoothing capacitor. In the circuit protecting unit, a correlation of an on-duty ratio of the switching element included in the boosting circuit, the output power of the inverter circuit, and an estimated ripple current are set. On the basis of the on-duty ratio of the switching element, output power of the inverter circuit, and the correlation, the circuit protecting unit determines an estimated ripple current flowing through the smoothing capacitor. When the estimated ripple current exceeds a preset threshold, the circuit protecting unit suppresses the ripple current.
