Abstract
An apparatus for driving an electric motor, including a full-wave rectifier which rectifies an alternating current supplied from an alternating-current power supply, and supplies a full-wave rectified current to the motor, a chopper which chops the full-wave rectified current supplied from the rectifier to the motor so that the chopped current is applied to the motor, and a control device which generates a chopping pulse signal having a first signal characteristic corresponding to a given motor control target and a second signal characteristic to reduce an alternating-current component of the full-wave rectified current supplied to the motor, the control device supplying the chopping pulse signal to the chopper so that the chopper chops the full-wave rectified current according to the chopping pulse signal.
