  • Patent number: 9906184
    Abstract: A temperature detection element that detects a temperature of a detector is provided in a detector that detects a rotational position and/or a rotational speed of a rotor of a motor. An estimated value of a change of a wiring temperature is calculated based on a current supplied to the wiring of the motor. An estimated value of a change of the detector temperature is calculated based on the estimated value of the change of the wiring temperature. A difference between the detector temperature detected by the temperature detection element and the estimated value of the change of the detector temperature is set as an environmental temperature. The environmental temperature is added to the estimated value of the change of the wiring temperature, to estimate an absolute value of the wiring temperature. The wiring temperature is monitored based on the estimated absolute value of the wiring temperature.
