Abstract
Disclosed is an insulation deterioration detection device that can accurately detect insulation deterioration in multiple motors by a simple circuit configuration. When detecting insulation deterioration, one end A of a smoothing capacitor is connected via a first switch to ground, and the other end B is connected via a second switch to motor windings; in this condition, link voltage is measured by a voltage measuring circuit provided in a converter unit, and the measured link voltage value is transmitted to a microcomputer in each inverter unit via serial communication. Current flowing via motor insulation resistance Z, Zis measured by a current measuring circuit provided in each inverter unit, and the microcomputer calculates the value of the insulation resistance Z, Zfrom the link voltage value and the current value.
