Abstract

In the synchronous motor controlling apparatus and method of the invention, a current is detected and subjected to coordinate transformation onto &ggr;-&dgr; axis assumed for the rotor. A correction term is obtained on the basis of the derived current and an arbitrarily given correction current instruction. A &ggr;-&dgr; axis voltage instruction is computed by adding a value obtained by multiplying the correction term by a proper gain to a voltage equation in a steady state of the synchronous motor. Consequently, a control method of small computational load, which does not require gain adjustment according to the inertia of a motor load, can be attained.
