A converter includes a converter circuit including a rectifying section to rectify an alternating current (AC) voltage and a smoothing section to smooth a direct current (DC) voltage rectified by the rectifying section, a diagnostic device configured to diagnose an abnormality of the converter circuit, an inrush current preventing section configured to prevent inrush current from being supplied to the smoothing section, and a switching section configured to supply the AC voltage to the converter circuit through a path different from a voltage supply path of the inrush current preventing section, wherein the diagnostic device determines an abnormal region of the converter circuit by controlling the inrush current preventing section and the switching section.

Converter, inverter, AC motor driving apparatus, and air conditioner using the same

A conduction noise filtering circuit configured to inhibit conduction noise is provided. The conduction noise filtering circuit includes a first coil part configured to be supplied with alternating current (AC) power, a second coil part configured to be connected to the first coil part in series, a detector configured to detect common mode noise from at least one selected from the first coil part and the second coil part, and a capacitor configured to supply a current offsetting common mode noise between power lines connecting the first coil part and the second coil part in series.
