Abstract

An object of the invention is to reduce a torque pulsation. A control device of a rotary electric machine according to the invention includes a sinusoidal wave generation circuit which generates a sinusoidal wave signal according to a magnetic pole position of a rotor of the rotary electric machine, a current command circuit which generates a speed command, a torque command based on actual speed information, and a current command on the basis of the sinusoidal wave signal, and a current control circuit which controls an inverter circuit interposed between a stator winding and a DC power source to make a sinusoidal current flow to the stator winding on the basis of the current command and a current detection signal of the stator winding of the rotary electric machine, wherein the current control circuit periodically changes a current phase of the sinusoidal current when the rotary electric machine is driven by a predetermined torque and a predetermined rotation frequency.
