Abstract
A motor control apparatus includes a phase current detecting section for detecting phase currents to a motor, a current phase/current peak value calculating section for calculating a current phase based on the phase currents, a voltage phase setting section for adding a predetermined phase difference to the current phase and setting the resultant sum as a voltage phase, a phase voltage setting section for setting phase voltages to the motor based on the voltage phase and the command voltage. Basically, the motor is operated by maintaining the voltage at constant and always monitoring the current/voltage phases so as to maintain a constant phase difference, without the motor axis position being predicted.
