Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for predicting a fault state of an inverter. The apparatus for predicting a fault state of an inverter includes: an inverter converting DC power into AC power; a switching element provided in the inverter; and a controller extracting a fault sign factor based on an output signal output from the inverter and predicting a fault of the switching element based on the fault sign factor.
