Abstract
An object is to provide a driving controller for an AC motor that can prevent generation of an excessive voltage between lines of a motor and between contacts of a motor cut-off contactor and a continuous arc between contacts of the motor cut-off contactor, regardless of the type of a fault occurred, even when a phase in which a current zero point is not generated and a phase in which a current zero point is generated coexist in a fault current that flows between an inverter and the motor. A control unit is configured to open a motor cut-off contactor not at a time when a state of a detected current is determined to be abnormal but at a time when the state of the current is determined to be normal, even when a basic contactor-close command MKC0 becomes off (L level).
