Control device for alternating-current motor

In one coordinate system of arbitrary rectangular coordinate systems including a coordinate system in which the position of a stator is fixed, a coordinate system in which the position of a rotor is fixed, and a coordinate system which rotates at a rotational frequency which is n times (n is an integer which is not 0 or 1) that of the rotor, a filter on any other coordinate system is defined. Further, driving of a motor is controlled by utilizing this filter. As a result, a coordinate transformation operation need not be individually performed with respect to control variables.
