It provides an inverter main circuit converting a DC-voltage into three-phase AC-voltages, a DC-current detection unit detecting the DC-current value of a DC-current flowing in the main circuit, and an inverter control unit generating a drive signal for controlling operation of the main circuit using a voltage command value corresponding to each phase of the three-phase AC-voltages and a triangular-wave carrier. Using a time period during which the triangular-wave carrier monotonically increases or decreases as a unit period, the control unit provides control to alternately use, as the DC-current value for use in computation of the voltage command value, the DC-current value detected in the unit period in which the triangular-wave carrier monotonically increases and the DC-current value detected in the unit period in which the triangular-wave carrier monotonically decreases, for every voltage command value control period set to three times or more and an integer multiple of the unit period.
