Abstract:
According to an embodiment, an inspection apparatus inspects an inverter circuit including three pairs of arms. The apparatus includes a current controller and a control signal generator. The current controller generates a control output for controlling a current to be output by the inverter circuit. The control output enables the current to approach a target value of the current. The control signal generator generates a first control signal for controlling ON/OFF of a first arm as one of the three pairs of arms based on the control output, a second control signal for fixing a second arm paired with the first arm, in an OFF-state, and a third control signal for fixing at least part of arms other than the first arm and the second arm in an ON-state.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus according to  claim 9 , further comprising a memory that records a history of the current, wherein:\n the inverter circuit is operable in a mode selected from a plurality of modes including a normal mode for rotatably driving an electric motor, and an inspection mode for inspecting abnormal heating in part or all of the three pairs of arms; the current controller and the control signal generator drive the three pairs of arms according to a given pattern after the normal mode is initiated and before the electric motor is rotatably driven; and the reference value is set based on the current that is recorded in the memory when the three pairs of arms are driven according to the given pattern after the normal mode is initiated and before the electric motor is rotatably driven.
