  • Publication number: 20230084424
    Abstract: A motor control device includes: a power source device including a DC-output power conversion device having a first mode for outputting first voltage and a second mode for outputting second voltage higher than the first voltage; a power supply device; and a control device, and controls a motor. When a flying object takes off, the control device controls the power conversion device in the second mode. When the control device judges that flight information which is one or both of information of a motor parameter obtained along with control for the motor and information of an environmental factor relevant to the flight altitude satisfies a predetermined condition, or when the control device has received an operation mode signal for which the first mode is selected on the basis of the flight information during control for the motor, the control device controls the power conversion device in the first mode.
