Claim:
1. A motor driving device comprising: an inverter circuit including switching elements corresponding to motor coils of plural phases of a motor; a control device having a driving circuit that switches the switching elements by using a PWM wave generated by a PWM modulation based on a comparison of a reference carrier wave and a modulation wave that is of an applied voltage command sent to each of the phases, the control device controlling the inverter circuit to convert a direct-current voltage to an alternating-current voltage by the switching and to output the alternating-current voltage to the motor coils; and a filter circuit is disposed in a power supply path from a supply source of the direct-current voltage to the inverter circuit, the filter circuit including a condenser element and a coil element, wherein the control device selectively switches a scheme of the PWM modulation among a plurality of modulation schemes, the filter circuit becomes an electrically resonant circuit according to the switching, each modulation scheme of the PWM modulation has a current peak frequency that is a maximum value of a frequency component of a current flowing through the coil element during the switching, one of the modulation schemes is a resonant inducement modulation scheme that has the current peak frequency that is closer to a resonant frequency of the filter circuit than that of an other modulation scheme in a uniform frequency mode where the reference carrier waves of the modulation schemes in the uniform frequency mode are each set to have the same carrier wave frequency, and the control device uses the resonant inducement modulation scheme in a mode, other than the uniform frequency mode, where the control device generates the PWM wave by using the reference carrier wave that is different in carrier-wave frequency from the reference carrier wave of the other modulation scheme such that a difference between the current peak frequency of the resonant inducement modulation scheme and the resonant frequency becomes greater than that in the uniform frequency mode.
