a control device for a switched reluctance motor which includes a target current determination device for determining a target value of a current which is supplied to each of a plurality of coil phases of a motor , a current supply timing determination device for determining timings at which the current begins to be supplied to each of the coil phases and at which the supply of the current is ended , a pulse width modulating device for generating a pulse width modulating signal so that the current which is supplied to each of the coil phases is modulated so as to correspond to the target value and a synchronization device for synchronizing a starting time of the pulse width modulating signal with the timing at which the current begins to be supplied to each of the coil phases .
