Abstract

A rotary electric machine managing system of an embodiment has an image data generating unit configured in such a way as to generate image data which indicates past breakdown voltage-related information related to a breakdown voltage of the past, present breakdown voltage-related information related to a breakdown voltage of the present, and future breakdown voltage-related information related to a breakdown voltage of the future as breakdown voltage-related information. The past breakdown voltage-related information is information found based on a partial discharge signal obtained from a rotary electric machine at a time of operation in the rotary electric machine of the past. The present breakdown voltage-related information is information found based on a partial discharge signal obtained from the rotary electric machine at a time of operation in the rotary electric machine of the present.
