Abstract

To provide a controller for AC rotary machine and a motor vehicle which can solve the countermeasure against heat of the inverter, and the generation of sound or electric resonance, at the same time. A controller for AC rotary machine turns on and off a plurality of switching devices which the inverter has at PWM frequency, based on the n-phase voltage command values; detects the temperature of the inverter; changes the PWM frequency based on the detected temperature of the inverter; and changes the PWM frequency out of range of the avoidance frequency band, when the PWM frequency after change is within the range of the avoidance frequency band.
