1. An elevator apparatus, comprising:

  • a car and a counterweight, each being suspended by a suspending member in a hoistway;

    a brake device including a brake coil for canceling braking force by excitation thereof, the brake device being for braking the car against a state of imbalance between the car and the counterweight;

    a speed detector for detecting a speed of the car; and

    a rescue operation controller for obtaining a rescue operation voltage value corresponding to a value of a voltage necessary to reduce the braking force of the brake device to move the car by using the state of the imbalance between the car and the counterweight and for applying a voltage having the rescue operation voltage value to the brake coil in response to a signal from the speed detector at a time of a rescue operation for the car.
