  • Publication number: 20120100012
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling an electric compressor. The method includes: (I) starting the electric compressor by applying an electric power to an air conditioner; (II) determining, by an inverter, whether the electric compressor is started normally; and normally driving the electric compressor when the electric compressor starts normally in the step (II) and determining again whether the electric compressor starts normally by restarting the electric compressor. Therefore, abnormal operation such as malfunction, short, and overheating of the electric compressor is detected in the early starting stage to determine restarting and failure of starting the electric compressor so that reliability of the electric compressor may be enhanced.
