A fuel cell system FCS includes a fuel cell FC, a motor ES4 connected to the fuel cell FC, an FC boost converter ES6 which raises the output voltage of the fuel cell FC to output the voltage to the motor ES4, an inverter ES3, a current sensor S2, and a controller EC which controls the fuel cell FC, the FC boost converter ES6 and the inverter ES3. The controller EC controls the inverter ES3 so as to raise the target output voltage of the inverter, when the current detected by the current sensor S2 exceeds a predetermined current threshold value.
