Abstract

A filter apparatus has a current-detecting coil. The coil detects a high-frequency leak current flowing from the phase-windings of a motor to the earth terminal through the closed case of a compressor. A current-canceling circuit generates a current similar in waveform to the high-frequency leak current detected by the coil. The current thus generated cancels out the high-frequency leak current.
