Motor control device
To estimate an initial magnetic pole position, estimated control axes corresponding to the d-axis and q-axis are set as the γ-axis and δ-axis, and a with high frequency rotation voltage or alternating voltage on the γδ coordinate system applied to the motor. A high frequency current i h flowing in the motor is then extracted from a detected motor current (armature current) and a direct current component (i h γ×i h δ) DC of a product of the γ-axis and δ-axis components of the high frequency current i h is derived. Alternatively, the γ′-axis component i ch γ and the δ′-axis component 66 of the high frequency current i h that are shifted by π/4 in electric angle from the γ-axis and the δ-axis are used to obtain a direct current component of their product (i ch γ×i ch δ) DC . The magnetic pole position is then estimated by computing the axial error Δθ between the γ-d axes utilizing the direct current components.
