Abstract: A drive system (1) drives a multi-phase AC motor (2) having a plurality of windings. The drive system (1) includes a first power converter (3U), a second power converter (3V), a first conversion controller (20U), and a second conversion controller (20V). The first power converter (3U) causes a current to flow through a winding of a first phase of the multi-phase AC motor (2). The second power converter (3V) causes a current to flow through a winding of a second phase of the multi-phase AC motor (2). The first conversion controller (20U) decides on either a three-level phase voltage waveform or a five-level phase voltage waveform on the basis of setting information for designating a type of phase voltage waveform and controls the first power converter (3U) so that the decided phase voltage waveform is output from the first power converter (3U).
