There is no. 117669. In this conventional example, a current detector is provided to detect the ripple current flowing into the capacitor, and when the time integral value of this current within a predetermined time exceeds a predetermined value, this integral value is integrated. It was compared with a predetermined value, and when the value exceeded, an alarm circuit was activated.

Further, deterioration of capacitors progresses depending on temperature even when no current flows, but this is not taken into account in the conventional example. That is, when the current value is smaller than a predetermined value, the current is not integrated over time, resulting in a large error. Furthermore, it was necessary to provide a new current detector to detect the ripple current of the capacitor during operation.

That is, regarding the predictive diagnosis of the deterioration of the capacitor based on the center temperature of the capacitor, the center temperature of the capacitor is calculated from the temperature detection means that measures the temperature inside, on the surface, or around the capacitor, and from the output state and control content of the inverter circuit. Then, the actual operating time at this time is determined so that the extent to which the deterioration of the capacitor progresses when operating at this calculated center temperature is the same as the extent to which the deterioration of the capacitor progresses when operating under the predetermined standard conditions. The capacitor is converted into an equivalent time under the standard conditions and accumulated, and when it exceeds a predetermined standard value, it is determined that the capacitor has deteriorated, and abnormality processing or an alarm is issued.

Therefore, the next step is to compare the cumulative time Σt6' of the conversion time t8' obtained above with the predicted deterioration time 1t, and if the cumulative time Σt3' is large, it is determined that the capacitor has deteriorated, and the alarm signal output etc. Abnormality processing (step 410) can be performed to notify the abnormality.

Alternatively, the capacitor temperature Ta is compared with the allowable temperature Tta of the capacitor 3 (step 405), and if either exceeds the allowable temperature, a warning signal is generated and an abnormal stop is performed, or the center temperature Tj is lower than the allowable temperature Tt.

In this case, the temperature may be set as an average for one year or for each season of the year. The ambient temperature of the capacitor is often the temperature inside the panel. Therefore, in this case, the ambient temperature of the capacitor can be determined by adding the increase in temperature inside the panel to the air temperature. Note that deterioration of the capacitor progresses due to the influence of ambient temperature even when the inverter is not operating, so if the operating time is high, sufficient accuracy can be ensured without integrating the time during the operating If the percentage of Since time can be accumulated, more accurate diagnosis can be made.

Alternatively, if you have a battery-backed clock, you can perform a more accurate diagnosis by adding the conversion time that takes into account the temperature while the inverter is stopped when the power is turned on, without using a separate power source. In this case,
By setting the temperature to a predetermined value depending on the season, there is no need to perform calculations while the operation is stopped.

Although the method of the present invention has been described above as being built into an inverter device, the above method can be easily assembled as a detection device externally, and is applicable to existing inverter devices that do not have the above diagnostic function. Furthermore, the method of diagnosing deterioration due to temperature of a smoothing capacitor according to the present invention can also be applied to a control power supply voltage smoothing capacitor mounted on a control circuit mounting board of an inverter device or the like. In this case, the temperature sensor is mounted on the control circuit board, and since the operating current of the control power supply voltage smoothing capacitor is approximately constant regardless of the load condition, it is set to a value determined in advance by measurement. Can be used for calculations.
