Abstract: A driving apparatus of an induction motor applied for drive of a fan of an air conditioner has a voltage limiter unit for limiting an upper limit of an output voltage of an inverter circuit, a voltage slow-up unit for converting an output signal of an output voltage commanding unit into a signal which increases gradually when that output signal rises, a voltage slow-down unit for converting the output signal of the output voltage commanding unit into a signal which decreases gradually when that output signal falls, and a feed interruption processing unit for setting the output signal value of the output voltage commanding unit to 0 when interrupting feeding and delivering a feed interruption signal at the termination of the lapse of a predetermined time.
