A motor control apparatus has a plurality of DC-to-AC inverter circuits which supply respective electric motors, each inverter circuit formed of a plurality of switching circuits, all of the switching circuits being connected in parallel with a smoothing capacitor which smoothes a DC voltage. A charge which remains in the smoothing capacitor, after the source of the DC voltage has become disconnected, is discharged through a single switching circuit in each of the inverter circuits, with all other switching circuits of each inverter circuit being held in a non-conducting state, thereby preventing a flow of discharge current through any of the motors. |
