Abstract

Disclosed is a control apparatus for an AC motor which is driven by a power converter constituted by switching elements. A current control circuit turns on/off the switching elements in accordance with a current pattern signal in the form of an AC signal to thereby control the motor current. The current pattern signal is obtained by a current pattern calculating circuit based on a current command signal and a sinusoidal signal which determines the current phase. A current correction signal proportional to the deviation of the motor current from the current command signal is obtained by a current correction control circuit and added to the current command signal to be applied to the current pattern calculating circuit.
