A method of controlling an electric oil pump (EOP) for a vehicle includes, if a current temperature of oil is lower than a reference temperature, determining whether an EOP RPM is lower than a minimum driving RPM, if the EOP RPM is lower than the minimum driving RPM, applying a first reduction rate for a first setting time and reducing a target line pressure and an instruction RPM of the EOP, if the EOP RPM is equal to or higher than the minimum driving RPM, determining whether vibration of the EOP RPM is generated above a reference vibration, and if the vibration is generated above the reference vibration, applying a second reduction rate for a second setting time and reducing the target line pressure or the instruction RPM of the EOP.

A cooling device for a rotating machine that is to be provided in a vehicle. The cooling device includes: (a) an electric oil pump; (b) a control device configured to control operation of the electric oil pump; (c) a cooling oil passage for applying oil outputted by the electric oil pump, to a coil of the rotating machine. The control device is configured to control the operation of the electric oil pump, depending on a pressure difference between a predetermined pressure reference value and an atmospheric pressure value that is detected by an atmospheric pressure sensor.

An electronic control unit stores a vehicle load at the time when the vehicle is switched into an ignition off state, stops operation of an electric oil pump when the vehicle load is small, and operates the electric oil pump when the vehicle load is large. Thus, a decrease in service life due to an increase in the number of times of the start of the electric oil pump is suppressed, and, when it is estimated that the vehicle load is large, the response of the start of a vehicle, which makes a driver experience a feeling of strangeness, is improved by starting the electric oil pump together with switching the vehicle into an ignition on state.
