A modulation processing unit performs a down-shift process or an up-shift process. In the down-shift process, a neutral-point voltage is shifted towards a low voltage side such that a smallest phase voltage command value is a lower fixed value that is a first lower limit value or a second lower limit value. In the up-shift process, the neutral-point voltage is shifted towards a high voltage side such that a largest phase voltage command value is an upper fixed value that is a first upper limit value or a second upper limit value. The modulation processing unit selects either of a first fixed value, being the first lower limit value or the first upper limit value, and a second fixed value, being the second lower limit value or the second upper limit value, based on a difference between the phase voltage command values in the down-shift process or the up-shift process.
