Abstract
An electric power converter, electric power converter controlling method and electric power converting system for converting multi-phase alternating-current inputted from a generator and outputting multi-phase alternating current for controlling a drive of a motor. An input power factor commanding section outputs a command value of an input power factor according to an operating condition of the motor, and an input power factor controlling section controls the input power factor of the generator on the basis of the command value of the input power factor from the input power factor commanding section.
