A diagnosis method for diagnosing a state of a motor includes an application step in which a voltage is applied to the motor on the basis of a non-rotating voltage signal that causes a rotation speed of the motor to become 0, and a measurement step in which a current supplied to the motor, to which the voltage has been applied, is measured. The diagnosis method includes a calculation step in which an electrical characteristic of the motor is calculated on the basis of the current of the motor measured by the measurement step, and a determination step in which an abnormality of the motor is determined on the basis of the electrical characteristic of the motor calculated by the calculation step and a parameter related to the non-rotating voltage signal.

Motor diagnosis method and power conversion device using same

An inverter includes an arm circuit, a first capacitor, a second capacitor, a first diode, and a second diode. In the arm circuit, upper arm switching elements to which a positive electrode of a battery is connected and lower arm switching elements to which a negative electrode of the battery is connected are connected. The first capacitor has one end connected to the positive electrode of the battery. The second capacitor is connected between another end of the first capacitor and the negative electrode of the battery. The first diode has a cathode electrode connected to the connection point between the upper arm and lower arm switching elements. The second diode has a cathode electrode connected to another end of the first capacitor. Power is supplied from an external power supply to an anode electrode of the first diode and an anode electrode of the second diode.

Inverter with charging capability

A power supply control apparatus includes a DC power supply including a positive electrode and a negative electrode, a load electrically connected to the DC power supply, a relay connected to a current path from the positive electrode to the negative electrode through the load in series, a switching device connected to the current path in series, and a controller controlling the relay and the switching device. The controller, in a case in which the current path is to be electrically cut off, switches the switching device to an Off state and then switches the relay to the Off state.
