Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a capacitor diagnosis device includes a sensor, a frequency spectrum analysis unit, a frequency component extraction unit, and a diagnosis processing unit. The sensor detects a physical quantity that changes with an current flowing through a capacitor in a power conversion unit (PCU) for converting DC power smoothed by the capacitor connected in parallel to DC link(s) into AC power according to a power running operation. The frequency spectrum analysis unit generates a frequency spectrum based on a detection result of the sensor detected during the power running operation of the PCU. The frequency component extraction unit extracts a component of a specific frequency band related to a frequency depending on a configuration of the PCU based on the frequency spectrum. The diagnosis processing unit diagnoses a state of the capacitor based on at least a magnitude of the extracted component of the specific frequency band.
