Abstract
A compressor control device, a method for controlling a compressor, and a refrigerator including the same are provided. The compressor control device controls the compressor to be driven using a mode in which the compressor is selectively driven by an inverter and a mode in which the compressor is driven directly using a supply voltage, according to a quality of the supply voltage, a loss which is caused by use of the inverter reduced or removed by directly providing the supply voltage to the compressor within a predetermined voltage or frequency range, and an increased energy efficiency by reducing power consumption.
