A drive system for an electric motor includes a first inverter that includes first switching elements, a second inverter that includes second switching elements, and a control unit that includes a first inverter control calculation section controlling on-off operation of each of the first switching elements based on a first carrier wave and a first modulation wave, a second inverter control calculation section controlling on-off operation of each of the second switching elements based on a second carrier wave and a second modulation wave, and a control synchronization section synchronizing the first carrier wave with the second carrier wave. When a sum of voltages of the first voltage source and the second voltage source is more than a voltage determination threshold, and torque of a rotating electric machine is smaller than a torque determination threshold, the control synchronization section synchronizes the first carrier wave with the second carrier wave.
