Motor driver having function of detecting insulation resistance

In a motor driver of the present invention, voltage and current values measured by a voltage and current detector and a voltage value measured by a voltage detector are determined as first measurement results, in the state of turning on semiconductor switching elements connected between a positive terminal of a capacitor and motor coils. Voltage and current values measured by the voltage and current detector and a voltage value measured by the voltage detector are determined as second measurement results, in the state of, as to a group A, turning on a semiconductor switching element connected between the positive terminal of the capacitor and the motor coil, and as to a group B, turning on semiconductor switching elements connected between a negative terminal of the capacitor and the motor coil. The insulation resistance values are calculated between the motor coils of each group A or B and a ground.
