Abstract

See full text

A motor control device for controlling a brushless DC motor in a PWM control manner using an inverter circuit according to a position-sensorless method includes: a ripple current estimating device; and a control device. When the magnitude of the ripple current is less than or equal to a threshold value, the control device performs balanced-drive switching that a first output terminal of the inverter circuit is repeatedly and alternately connected to high and low voltage sides of a drive power supply, and the second output terminal of the inverter circuit is repeatedly and alternately connected to the low and high voltage sides. When the magnitude of the ripple current exceeds the threshold value, the control device performs unbalanced-drive switching that the first output terminal is repeatedly and alternately connected to the high and low voltage sides, and the second output terminal is connected only to the low voltage side.
