Abstract
A motor drive apparatus includes a converter, a DC link capacitor, a plurality of inverters, a diagnosis command unit configured to give a command to one of the plurality of inverters to perform power conversion, an AC voltage detection unit configured to detect a peak value of AC voltage on an AC input side of the converter, a DC voltage detection unit configured to detect a value of DC voltage across the DC link capacitor, a calculation unit to calculate a difference between the value of DC voltage and the peak value of AC voltage, a storage unit configured to store the difference in association with the inverters, and a leakage current determination unit configured to determine that the inverter associated with the largest of the differences stored in the storage unit is the inverter that has caused the largest leakage current.
