  • Patent number: 11933291
    Abstract: A compressor, a monitoring system and a method of monitoring a compressor that make it possible to monitor the remaining lifetime of a semiconductor element of a motor control system while the processing load is reduced are provided. A compressor (1) includes: a motor control system (10) that controls the rotation speed of a motor (2); a compressor body (3) that compresses air by being driven by the motor (2); a pressure sensor (20) that is provided on the discharge side of the compressor body (3); and a running controller (11) that performs switching between load running and no-load running on the basis of the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor (20).
