A method for reducing a total operational load of a method of a model predictive control-by conducting simplifications based on specific observations, in order to drive alternating current motors by using the method of the MPC with a two-level voltage source inverter. The method includes the steps of determining at which one of the predefined sectors a resultant of stator currents is present, determining a motor mode, reducing seven estimation vectors to four estimation vectors and calculating a cost function or reducing seven estimation vectors to five estimation vectors and calculating the cost function.
