Provided is a Direct Circuit (DC) bus discharge control method, including that: an active discharge instruction is received; a motor current signal is acquired according to the active discharge instruction; the motor current signal is converted into a current signal in a stator coordinate system; a voltage control signal in the stator coordinate system is output based on the current signal in the stator coordinate system and a current reference instruction of a preset stator coordinate system, the current reference instruction of the preset stator coordinate system being a high-frequency alternating current; and the voltage control signal in the stator coordinate system is converted into a three-phase voltage control signal, and a working state of a switching device is controlled according to the three-phase voltage control signal.
