Abstract

A motor control device that can improve stability of sensorless control of a permanent magnetic synchronous motor. Rotor position detection ( 10 ) includes motor parameter correction ( 30 ) for correcting a parameter (winding resistance of a coil, a magnetic flux amount of a permanent magnet), which is a machine constant of a motor, in order to eliminate an induced voltage difference between a detected induced voltage peak value and a detected estimated induced voltage peak value. The rotor position is detected on the basis of the corrected parameter.
