Abstract
A capacitance acquiring unit acquires a plurality of initial capacitance values indicating capacitance values of a smoothing capacitor in an initial state and acquires a plurality of operation capacitance values indicating capacitance values of the smoothing capacitor in an operation state, and a deterioration determining unit acquires characteristic information indicating a relationship between AC power and the capacitance value of the smoothing capacitor in the initial state on the basis of a statistic amount of the plurality of initial capacitance values acquired by the capacitance acquiring unit and determines a deterioration state of the smoothing capacitor on the basis of a statistic amount of the plurality of operation capacitance values acquired by the capacitance acquiring unit and the characteristic information.
