In a drive system of an AC motor in which a motor current is feedback-controlled, a motor current command is produced in a normal operation according to a torque command value on an optimum efficiency characteristic line so as to select an optimum current phase maximizing an output torque with a constant motor current amplitude. Conversely, when the AC motor produces an excessively generated power exceeding a regeneratable power quantity of the AC motor, a consuming operation is performed for intentionally increasing the power loss in the AC motor. In the consuming operation, the motor current command is produced according to the torque command value on a loss increase characteristic line to change the current phase from the above optimum value. Thereby, the power loss in the AC motor can be increased to consume the surplus power without causing instability in the motor control.
