Patent ID: 10742023

Abstract:
An object is to provide an air conditioner that can prevent malfunctions due to an inrush current, where the air conditioner includes an inrush-current prevention resistor that prevents inflow of an inrush current from an AC power supply, a relay-a operation unit as a first relay that is serially connected to the inrush-current prevention resistor, a relay-b operation unit as a second relay that is connected in parallel to the inrush-current prevention resistor and the relay-a operation unit as the first relay, an indoor control unit that controls ON and OFF of the relay-a operation unit as the first relay, and an outdoor control unit that controls ON and OFF of the relay-b operation unit as the second relay. When power is being supplied from the AC power supply via the relay-a operation unit as the first relay, the outdoor control unit turns ON the relay-b operation unit as the second relay.
