Abstract

Abstract A control device supplies an operating voltage instruction to a PWM inverter that drives a motor and, if the inferred axis of the rotor permanent magnet flux direction is defined as the dr axis, the direction orthogonal to the dr axis as the qr axis, and an axis offset by a predetermined angle from said dr axis as the γ axis, on the γ axis, the inferred γ axis voltage value which is inferred and calculated by using the detected value of the motor current and motor equivalent circuit constant and the γ axis component voltage applied to the motor are compared, and the dr axis phase difference is inferred and calculated so that the deviation of these becomes substantially zero.
