  • Patent number: 12372285
    Abstract: A device management system for an inverter compressor is a device management system for an inverter compressor provided with a motor to be driven by an inverter, and includes: a partial discharge detector that detects a voltage of the motor to detect a partial discharge that occurs in the motor; and a determination module that determines whether there is a risk of occurrence of the partial discharge or whether the partial discharge occurs based on a result of detection by the partial discharge detector. When the voltage detected by the partial discharge detector is higher than a first threshold, the determination module determines that there is a risk of the occurrence of the partial discharge or the partial discharge occurs, and performs a protective operation to reduce the risk of the occurrence of the partial discharge in the motor or the occurrence of the partial discharge in the motor.
