Electric vehicle control device

An electric vehicle control device to control a plurality of induction motors with a single inverter, the electric vehicle control device comprising:

• a first inverter to control a first electric motor group defined by a plurality of induction motors;
• and
• a second inverter to control a second electric motor group defined by a plurality of induction motors, wherein
• the induction motors belonging to the first electric motor group are mounted on different bogies,
• the induction motors belonging to the second electric motor group are mounted on different bogies,
• the first inverter and the induction motors belonging to the first electric motor group are connected to each other by a first conductor,
• the second inverter and the induction motors belonging to the second electric motor group are connected to each other by a second conductor, and
• between each of the first and second inverters and the bogies, a first length is equal to or less than three times an average value of a second length and a third length, the first length being an inter-center distance between the first conductor and the second conductor, the second length being a maximum length of a conductor portion of the first conductor in a cross section of the first conductor, the third length being a maximum length of a conductor portion of the second conductor in a cross section of the second conductor.
