Abstract: A higher-level control unit 5 generates a level command L* on the basis of a command value cmd. A switching load distribution control unit 6 stores the output period information of each cell and designates a gate signal so that: in case of a pattern by which a cell is changed from ±1 level to 0 level, the cell having the longest ±1 level period information is set to 0 level; and in case of a pattern by which a cell is changed from 0 level to ±1 level, the cell having the longest 0 level output period is set to ±1 level. This distributes the switching load of each cell in the serial multiplex inverter control device.

Based on these two diameter reductions, the time at which diameter reduction will reach a predetermined threshold value is predicted for each measuring point, and the earliest time is displayed as a rope replacement time (S12_S14).
