Abstract: In related art technique, an average neutral point voltage is detected via a low-pass filter. Time constant of the low-pass filter must be set to cover the entire output frequency band of an inverter and voltage fluctuation due to modulated signal must be separated from that due to a short circuit to ground. According to the present invention, whether abnormality such as a short circuit to ground or to supply occurs in output lines can be determined based on an actual neutral point voltage of a motor, which changes in a stepwise fashion in conformity to a PWM pulse pattern output by an inverter device, and a normal neutral point voltage which depends on a PWM pattern output by the inverter device. Highly reliable abnormality detection in accordance with the waveform of the neutral point voltage and stable abnormality detection not depending on the inverter output frequency are feasible.
