Abstract

A heat pump device is equipped with a compressor for compressing a refrigerant; a converter for converting a voltage of an alternating current power supply into a boosted direct current; an inverter for converting the direct current output of the converter into an alternating current, supplying the alternating current to the compressor; a voltage detector for detecting an input voltage to the converter; a stop controller for stopping operation of the converter and the inverter when resonance occurs in the voltage detected by the voltage detector; a limit controller for sending an instruction to limit an input current to the converter so as to avoid the resonance; and a manually operable input interface for sending an instruction to cause the limit control unit to operate.
