Power conversion device and electric motor drive system

A power conversion device includes an inverter, a current detector, a frequency analysis processor, a storage, a determination unit, a reference rotational rate change unit, and a rate controller.

The reference rotational rate change unit changes a reference rotational rate of an electric motor so that mechanical resonance of the detected frequency is avoided based on the stored restriction information. The rate controller controls a rotational rate of the inverter using the changed reference rotational rate. The electric motor is driven at the controlled rotational rate.
