    摘要: A drive apparatus of a synchronous motor includes: a current detecting unit that detects a phase current flowing to the synchronous motor; and a magnetic pole position estimating unit that estimates a magnetic pole position of a rotor of the synchronous motor, based on the phase current detected by the current detecting unit. The magnetic pole position estimating unit includes a first peak-to-peak detector that detects a first peak-to-peak value representing a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the phase current, a quadrature component detector that detects a quadrature component of the phase current, and a second peak-to-peak detector that detects a second peak-to-peak value representing a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of the quadrature component. The magnetic pole position estimating unit calculates a first magnetic pole position, based on the first and second peak-to-peak values while the synchronous motor is stopped, and estimates an initial magnetic pole position of the rotor, based on the first magnetic pole position.
