Abstract
An air conditioner includes a compressor having a compressor motor including coils, an indoor fan having a fan motor, a connection switching unit that switches a connection state of the coils between a first connection state and a second connection state in which a line voltage is lower than a line voltage in the first connection state, and a controller that controls the compressor motor, the fan motor, and the connection switching unit. The controller provides a stop period during which rotation of the compressor motor stops before the connection switching unit switches the connection state of the coils, and rotates the fan motor for at least a time period within the stop period.
