An inverter generator includes a motor, an electric generator and an ECU generating a pulse at each predetermined rotation angle of the motor. Estimating means estimates an initial electrical angle of alternating voltage produced by the generator from the pulse and calculates a phase shift angle to estimate continuous electrical angle of the alternating voltage. A converter converts the alternating current electric power into direct current electric power under d-q control based on the phase shift angle. An inverter converts the direct current electric power into alternating current output electric power.
