To aim to reduce ripple current flowing through a capacitor in a power converter apparatus including a converter, the capacitor and an inverter. A current sensor 6 is connected between a capacitor 5 and an inverter circuit 7 for detecting current Iinv flowing from the capacitor 5 to the inverter circuit 7. A frequency detecting subunit 11 performs fast Fourier transform on a waveform of the current Iinv to detect a frequency of a frequency component having the largest amplitude. Also, the frequency detecting subunit 12 detects a zero-cross point of the frequency component having the largest amplitude. Then a carrier signal control subunit 13 performs control such that a frequency and a rise time of a PWM carrier signal for driving the converter circuit 4 match the frequency and the zero-cross point that have been detected by the frequency detecting subunit 11 and the phase detecting subunit 12.

Every M consecutive stator teeth belong to one of stator teeth groups arranged at equal intervals. The M consecutive stator teeth in each stator teeth group are arranged at intervals different from the intervals of the magnetic poles of the rotor. The stator coils wound around the M consecutive stator teeth are connected to separate terminals. A motor driver supplies currents of different phases to the stator coils via the respective terminals.

In a power conversion circuit operating with high frequency, an off-voltage control circuit 101u of a lower-arm gate drive circuit 24u controls the output voltage of a gate drive power supply 103u to change the output voltage to a voltage lower than a predetermined off voltage during a time period from termination of turn-off operation of a lower arm 22u until start of turn-on operation of an upper arm 21u, and thereafter return the output voltage to the predetermined off voltage immediately after termination of the turn-on operation of the upper arm 21u. With this control, short-circuiting through the upper and lower arms occurring due to a high voltage change dv/dt can be avoided, and the life of a switching element constituting the power conversion circuit improves, increasing the reliability of the power conversion circuit.

The second control unit 402 generates inverse sawtooth wave voltage and controls the inverter 302 according to the inverse sawtooth wave voltage. The third control unit 403 generates triangular wave voltage which has ramps respectively equal to the sawtooth/inverse sawtooth wave voltage and either has a same phase or is out of phase by half a period relative to the sawtooth/inverse sawtooth wave voltage, and also controls the inverter 303 according to the triangular wave voltage.
