## Abstract

A current command value deriving unit of a motor control device derives a d-axis current command value and a q-axis current command value based on a torque current map and a torque command value. A voltage command value deriving unit executes a first process of deriving a d-axis voltage command value based on the d-axis current command value and deriving a q-axis voltage command value based on q-axis current command value, and a second process of deriving the d-axis voltage command value based on the q-axis current command value and deriving the q-axis voltage command value based on a limit voltage and the d-axis voltage command value. When a motor is driven by field-weakening control, the voltage command value deriving unit switches from the second process to the first process when it is determined that the voltage command value satisfying the torque command value is derivable by the first process.
