A power converter for converting power supplied to a rotating electric machine that includes windings of N-phase (N≧2), includes an inverter section, a voltage detecting portion, one or more resistors, and an abnormality detecting portion. The voltage detecting portion detects a voltage applied to each winding of M-phase, where 1≦̸M<N. Each resistor is coupled between a corresponding winding of (N−M)-phase whose voltage is not detected and a high-potential side or a low-potential side of the power source. The abnormality detecting portion detects abnormality based on the voltage detected by the voltage detecting portion. At least one of the resistors is coupled between the corresponding winding and the high-potential side of the power source. |
