Abstract
A motor including a first terminal and a second terminal to which a single-phase AC is input includes a third terminal, an AC/DC converter that converts a single-phase AC into a DC, an inverter that is PWM-controlled by a PWM signal to convert the DC into a three-phase AC, a controller that outputs a PWM signal to the inverter, and a detection circuit connected to the third terminal, in which the detection circuit outputs any one of a first detection signal, a second detection signal, and a third detection signal, and the controller outputs a PWM signal to be in a first rotation state when the detection circuit outputs the first detection signal, to be in a second rotation state when the detection circuit outputs the second detection signal, and to be in a third rotation state when the detection circuit outputs the third detection signal.
