Abstract: In sensorless vector control performed through use of a rotation speed of a synchronous motor 6 and the position of a rotor, a positive current is caused to flow to a ? axis on the assumption that a “d” axis serving as a true magnetic axis is out of phase with the ? axis by only an angle of load ?e, whereby torque which is proportional to i? sin ?e and directed toward the ? axis arises in the magnetic axis. Accordingly, a deviation between a d-q axis serving as a true magnetic axis and a ?-? axis serving as a control axis is eliminated. Even if load is exerted on the motor, the ? axis serving as a control axis is constantly aligned with the “d” axis serving as the magnetic axis of the synchronous motor, thereby enabling excellent vector control.

A speed corrector 8 receives these information items and determines a difference between a differential value output from a phase estimator and an additionally input slip angular speed; that is, a deviation ??res. Further, a primary delay integral value is determined by subtracting a slip angular frequency ?s from the deviation, and the primary delay integral value is multiplied by a correction gain, to thereby produce a correction to be made on the estimated speed ?rest. Thus, a more accurate estimated speed ??rest is obtained.
