Abstract

See full text

A motor control apparatus includes a voltage regulator to execute a voltage increase mode to increase a voltage applied to an induction motor from a lower limit of a first range over time. A frequency regulator executes a frequency decrease mode to decrease a frequency of the voltage from an upper limit of a second range over time. When a current through the motor exceeds a first threshold in the voltage increase mode, a mode changer changes the mode to the frequency decrease mode. When the current through the motor becomes smaller than a second threshold in the frequency decrease mode, the mode changer changes the mode to the voltage increase mode to control the motor to change from a free running state to a state in which the voltage and the frequency satisfy a relationship. A determinator determines whether the voltage and the frequency satisfy the relationship.
