Abstract

An inverter includes: a converter circuitry to convert an alternating-current voltage to a direct-current voltage; an inverter circuitry to convert a direct-current voltage obtained by conversion by the converter circuitry to an alternating-current voltage and to supply the alternating-current voltage obtained by conversion to a load; a current detector to detect an output current of the inverter circuitry; a calculator to calculate an output frequency based on the output current detected by the current detector, and a pulse-signal outputter to output a pulse signal based on the output frequency calculated by the calculator. The inverter circuitry converts the direct-current voltage obtained by conversion by the converter circuitry to the alternating-current voltage based on the pulse signal output from the pulse-signal outputter, so as to obtain a frequency corresponding to the magnitude of the load.
