The invention discloses a polyphase permanent magnet synchronous motor current waveform optimal control method, comprising the following steps of A, current reference value coordinate transformation; B, current multiple proportion resonance regulation; and C, coupling compensation. In the control method, based on polyphase permanent magnet synchronous motor vector control, a polyphase synchronous rotating coordinate system current reference value is transformed to a current reference value of each phase in a polyphase static coordinate system through polyphase coordinate transformation, the current reference value of each phase and a current feedback value of each phase of a motor are respectively subjected to improved multiple superposition proportion resonance regulation, and a resonance separation method is introduced, decoupling is realized by feed-forward compensation, and floating tracking and harmful subharmonic restraining for highly dynamic property fundamental waves and usable subharmonic are realized. The method can restrain the adverse impacts, such as motor loss, torque ripple and vibration noise, caused by a harmful harmonic current of the polyphase motor, can explore the positive effects of the usable harmonic current, gives full play to the advantages of the polyphase motor and improves the system performance.
