The load element is coupled to the motor element via a rotational main shaft and driven to rotate by the motor element. Rotational acceleration at each rotation angle during one revolution of the rotational main shaft is detected and fed back. An electromagnetic torque of the motor element is controlled so that a difference between the electromagnetic torque of the motor element and a load torque of the load element may become zero at each rotation angle of the rotational main shaft.

Abstract: AC power supply is converted to DC by a rectifier circuit. The DC is stepped up by a step-up chopper circuit. The output of the step-up chopper circuit is smoothed by a smoothing circuit. The output of the smoothing circuit is input to an inverter via a current detecting circuit and a voltage detecting circuit. A synchronous motor is connected to the inverter. When the speed of the synchronous motor is judged to be in a high speed region based on the output signal of the voltage detecting circuit, the first speed control apparatus operates the interrupting control of the switching element of the step-up chopper circuit in such a manner that a deviation speed between an instruction speed signal to the motor and the detected speed of the motor reaches to zero.

Subsequently, in the state in which both of the rotor and stator are positioned, a current is supplied to the stator winding and the magnetic fields are generated, thereby magnetizing the rotor by the magnetic fields.
