A technology for correctly detecting a rotating position of a rotator at the time of rotation start. A rotation control apparatus (10) controls rotation of a motor (90), which includes a stator provided with a plurality of coils (U, V and W) and a rotor having magnetism. At the time of detecting a position of the motor (90) when the motor (90) is stopped, a control part (20) supplies a current to a plurality of different paths including the coils (U, V and W), a stopped position detecting part (50) measures the current flowing in each of the plurality of paths, judges the order of the measured current values, and a rotating position of the motor (90) is detected based on the order. Based on a combination of a path showing the highest current value and a path showing the second highest current value, the stopped time position detecting part (50) judges a position of the motor (90). |
