Motor control device, electric vehicle, and motor control method

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to sufficiently suppress a vibration and noise generated in a motor. A motor control device includes a first inverter circuit and a second inverter circuit of a redundant system, the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit controlling a motor, and a control unit that controls the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit. The first inverter circuit converts the DC power into the AC power based on a PWM signal generated by using a first carrier signal. The second inverter circuit converts the DC power into the AC power based on a PWM signal generated by using a second carrier signal. The control unit shifts phases of the first carrier signal and the second carrier signal by using, as a reference, pulsation of an electromagnetic force caused by a magnetic circuit of the motor.
