Abstract

A three-phase motor control apparatus 4 controlling a driver which drives a three-phase motor includes: a desired rotation angle generation section 5 which generates a desired rotation angle; a rotation angle detector 2 which detects a detected rotation angle which is the rotation angle of said three phase motor; a feedback controller 6 which generates a q-axis command reference value which controls the q-axis voltage or the q-axis current of the three-phase motor 1 in response to the desired rotation angle and the detected rotation angle; a drive torque correction section and an adder 10 which generate a q-axis command value by correcting the q-axis command reference value; and a two-phase to three-phase transformation section 8 which generates a control signal which controls the driver circuit 3 which drives the three-phase motor in response to the q-axis command. The drive torque correction section 7 includes an angle look-up table 11 which contains elements respectively associated with angle ranges defined for the rotation angle of the three-phase motor, and selects any of the elements in response to the detected rotation angle. The q-axis command is generated by correcting the q-axis command reference value based on the value of the selected element.
