Abstract

In a control system of an alternating current motor energized by serially connected rectifier and inverter wherein the output DC voltage of the rectifier is controlled by a phase controller which is controlled by a phase control signal and the output frequency of the inverter is controlled by a speed reference signal there is provided a power factor detector which differentiates the phase control signal or the DC voltage and the output of the phase detector is added to the speed reference signal so as to suppress low frequency oscillations of the torque of the motor.
