Abstract

An electric motor drive control device includes: an inverter circuit that converts DC power inputted via a DC bus to multiphase AC power and outputs the multiphase AC power to an electric motor; a current detector that detects a DC current flowing in the DC bus; a PWM generator that generates PWM signals and outputs the PWM signals to the inverter circuit; a current calculator that calculates a current value for each of phases to be flowed to the electric motor based upon a value of the DC current and the PWM signals; and a current controller that generates a command signal based upon the current value, and outputs the command signal to the PWM generator, wherein: if one of the phases of the AC power has become missing, the current calculator determines which phase is one that has become missing and calculates current values for other phases.
