ABSTRACT:
A current detection method for an electric motor which detects phase currents of the electric motor driven by a power converter that provides ON/OFF control of bridge-connected switching elements, based on a pulse-width modulation excitation pattern, to convert a direct current into poly-phase alternating currents. The method includes connecting a current detecting element which produces a signal corresponding to a current value at the direct current side of the power converter and changing the pulse-width modulation excitation pattern by executing a shift of time of any of the phases of the pulse-width modulation excitation pattern so that a signal directly or indirectly corresponding to the phase currents is produced at the current detecting element. The method also includes detecting the phase currents of the electric motor based on the signal produced at the current detecting element and the excitation pattern which has been changed.
