CONTROL APPARATUS FOR ELECTRIC MOTOR AND VEHICLE

A control apparatus (60) includes: a rotor temperature estimation unit (62a) estimating a temperature of a rotor (14) based on stator temperature information from a first temperature sensor (17) for identifying a temperature of a stator (12), refrigerant temperature information from a second temperature sensor (25) for identifying a temperature of refrigerant used to cool an electric motor (10), and rotation speed information about the rotor (14) from a resolver (18) for identifying a rotation speed of the rotor (14); and an electric motor control unit (62d) controlling at least one of an output characteristic and a drive condition of the electric motor (10) based on the temperature of the rotor (14) estimated by the rotor temperature estimation unit (62a).
