PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a motor drive with a larger stable control range capable of being applied to various types of motors.SOLUTION: The motor drive includes: a current detection section 7 that detects a current flowing through a brushless DC motor 4; and an energization angle changing section 8 that, when a change of current value is detected by the current detection section 7 at a period different from the drive speed of the brushless DC motor 4, changes the energization angle in a range of 120 degrees or more and less than 180 degrees. By outputting a signal having a second waveform which has a predetermined relation with the phase of the current detected by the current detection section 7 and which is a waveform of the energization angle determined by the energization angle changing section 8 at a frequency set by a frequency setting section 9, the energization angle is changed to an energization angle with which stable controlling is achieved based on the state of the current. Accordingly, the controllable range can be expanded based on the correction of phase difference between the current and the applied voltage. Thus, the motor drive can be applied to various types of motors and various motor outputs.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To expand a driving region by improving stability in high-load and high-speed drive of brushless DC motors.SOLUTION: The brushless DC motor 4 includes a rotor having a permanent magnet and a stator having three-phase winding, and an inverter 3 for supplying power to the three-phase winding. The phase of current flowing to winding of the brushless DC motor is reliably acquired by selecting one of a winding current and an output terminal voltage of the inverter 3 according to a drive state of the brushless DC motor 4. Winding for energizing the brushless DC motor 4 is changed so that current and voltage phases of the brushless DC motor 4 hold a prescribed phase relationship. The prescribed relationship held between the current and voltage phases is changed by a detection value of the current flowing to the brushless DC motor 4. As a result, a drivable load region of the brushless DC motor 4 can be expanded, and drive is performed at spark advance and speed not causing the loss of synchronism and an excessive current even if a load becomes excessive, thus achieving high-speed, high-load, and stable drive.
