Abstract

Provided is a control device for a rotating machine including a magnetic pole position estimation unit, a vector calculation unit, a current command correction unit configured to correct a first d-axis current command and a first q-axis current command, to thereby output a second d-axis current command and a second q-axis current command, a voltage application unit configured to superimpose a high-frequency voltage including a specific frequency component on voltage commands on rotational coordinates. The magnetic pole position estimation unit is configured to estimate the position of the magnetic pole based on a state quantity of the specific frequency component. The current command correction unit is configured to correct the current commands so that a current amplitude of electrical angle frequency components is equal to or larger than a half of a current amplitude of the specific frequency component.
