Abstract

An electric motor controller includes a first coordinate conversion unit that converts a three-phase current into a current in a δc-γc rotating coordinate system, a first calculation unit that obtains a first term, a second calculation unit that obtains a voltage command value in the δc-γc rotating coordinate system as a sum of the first term and a second term, a second coordinate conversion unit that coordinate-converts the voltage command value into a voltage command value of a voltage to be applied to a rotary electric motor in another coordinate system.
