An electronic control device includes a turn-on restriction section capable of performing a restriction operation to restrict a turn-on speed of a switching element. The turn-on restriction section includes a comparator. The comparator receives a voltage of a main terminal of the switching element connected to a smoothing circuit and determines whether the voltage of the main terminal of the switching element reaches a threshold voltage. The turn-on restriction section performs the restriction operation for a predetermined time from a start of a turn-on period in which the switching element is turned on. The turn-on restriction section stops the restriction operation after the predetermined time has elapsed. The predetermined time is set to a time from the start of the turn-on period until the voltage of the main terminal of the switching element reaches the threshold voltage.
