Abstract

A method for greatly reducing magnetic sound of an alternating current rotating machine compared with the past comprising superimposing an n−1-th order frequency in inverse turn on a multi-phase alternating current with reference to a basic frequency component of the multi-phase alternating current supplied to an armature of the alternating current rotating machine of multiple phases so as to reduce the n-th order harmonic components of the basic frequency component among radial direction magnetic vibrating forces generated in the radial direction in a core of the alternating current rotating machine.

detecting said harmonic current components supplied to said armature; and

performing feedback control so that deviations of amplitude and phases between detected values of said harmonic current components and computed values of said radial direction vibration control use harmonic currents to be added to said multi-phase alternating current become 0 so as to obtain target values of said harmonic radial direction vibration components.
