Abstract

An electric power translating device employs a converter for converting an AC source voltage into a DC voltage, a smoothing capacitor connected at the DC side of the converter, an inverter for inverting the DC from the smoothing capacitor into an AC and for supplying the AC to an AC motor and means for controlling the voltage, frequency or phase in the AC output from the inverter. The device further includes means for regulating at least one of voltage, frequency and phase in the AC output of the inverter based on a ripple frequency component contained in the AC output of the inverter and associated with the rectification by the converter. Whereby, beat phenomenon caused by rectification ripple is suppressed.
