Abstract

An apparatus for controlling an inverter driving a motor is provided. The apparatus includes a current controller that generates a voltage instruction for causing a current detection value, obtained by measuring a current provided from an inverter to a motor, to correspond to a current instruction for driving the motor. A voltage modulator generates a pulse width modulation signal for controlling on/off states of switching devices in the inverter at a predetermined switching frequency based on the voltage instruction. A frequency determiner determines the switching frequency based on driving information of the motor, determines a plurality of synchronization frequencies based on a speed of the motor, and randomly selects and determines one of the plurality of synchronization frequencies as the switching frequency.
