Abstract

A motor controller includes a plurality of inverters that supply power to a corresponding motor of a plurality of motors through pulse width modulation control, a direct current power supply that supplies power to the plurality of inverters, and a capacitor connected parallel to the direct current power supply. Each of the plurality of inverters is categorized into one of a plurality of groups based on a switching frequency. All inverters in each of the groups have corresponding carrier signals being triangular wave signals determined based on a reference frequency assigned to the group. At least one of the triangular wave signals has at least one of a frequency or a phase different from a frequency or a phase of another triangular wave signal of the triangular wave signals.
