    Abstract: A compressor control apparatus includes a rectifier configured to rectify AC power to DC power; an inverter including a plurality of switching elements, configured to convert the DC power into a three-phase voltage according to a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal applied to the plurality of switching elements; a motor configured to receive a three-phase current based on the three-phase voltage; a current detector configured to detect a sum of a first phase current, a second phase current, and a third phase current supplied to the motor; and a controller configured to differently determine a duty ratio of the PWM signal applied to each of the plurality of switching elements, and to determine the first phase current, the second phase current, and the third phase current, respectively, based on the determined duty ratio and the sum of the currents detected from the current detector.
