Abstract

An electric motor drive control apparatus includes a detection angle obtaining section that obtains the detection angle of the resolver; a correction information storage section that stores correction information for correcting the detection angle, in association with a modulation ratio that is a ratio of an effective value of a fundamental wave component of the AC voltage to the system voltage; and a detection angle correcting section that obtains the correction information from the correction information storage section, based on the modulation ratio at the time the detection angle obtaining section obtains the detection.
