A motor controlling apparatus having a controller for controlling a plurality of inverters correspondingly provided to each of a plurality of alternating-current motors is reduced in size, mass, and cost by effectively grouping operations performed by each calculation unit included in the controller. This controller for controlling the inverters includes: a first common calculation unit and a second common calculation unit that calculate and output control signals that are common to each of the inverters; individual calculation units that individually calculate and output a control signal related to each of the inverters; and a common logic calculation unit 60 that outputs a gate signal for controlling switching of each of the inverters based on the signals received from the first common calculation unit, the second common calculation unit, and the individual calculation units.
