Motor control device, electric power steering device and inverter system failure detection method

摘要

An inverter system failure is detected on the basis of the currents of respective phases detected by a current detection unit when carrying out switching control in accordance with a first drive mode in which all switching elements on a lower-side arm are switched on and all switching elements on an upper-side arm are switched off, and the currents of respective phases detected by the current detection unit when carrying out switching control in accordance with a second drive mode in which all of the switching elements on the upper-side arm are switched on and all of the switching elements on the lower-side arm are switched off.
