A current detection unit includes current detection elements provided to phases on a high potential side of an upper arm element or on a low potential side of a lower arm element. A detection target element is the upper arm element or the lower arm element to which the current detection elements are provided. A target duty is a duty ratio of the detection target element. The control unit includes a current acquisition unit, an energization control unit, and an abnormality determination unit. The current acquisition unit acquires a current detection value from the current detection unit. The abnormality determination unit performs an abnormality determination based on the current detection value. The abnormality determination unit varies a determination threshold, which is used for the abnormality determination based on the current detection value, according to the target duty.
