    Abstract: In an air conditioner using a power supply wiring connected between an outdoor unit and an indoor unit for communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, noise transmitted from the power supply wiring to a power supply due to the communication is reduced. An indoor unit has power input terminals that receive power. An outdoor unit is connected to a first power supply and includes power supply terminals that supply power from the first power supply. In an air conditioner, in order to supply power from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit, in some cases, the power input terminal and a power supply terminal are connected by a first power supply line, and a first communication device and a second communication device are connected by a first signal line. In this case, the air conditioner has a first communication mode in which the first communication device performs a first wired communication by using the first signal line and the first power supply line, and the second communication device performs a second wired communication by using the first signal line and the first power supply line.

    Abstract: An indoor unit included in an air conditioner that includes an outdoor unit includes a power receiving circuit (PR2), a low-frequency transmission and reception circuit as a first reception circuit, a high-frequency transmission and reception circuit as a transmission and reception circuit, and an inner-controller. The low-frequency transmission and reception circuit receives a current signal transmitted from an outdoor unit by using a current loop formed by a power line included in power supply wiring. For a first communication state in which physical connection between with the outdoor unit is recognized and a second communication state in which communication for operation of the air conditioner is performed between with the outdoor unit, the inner-controller selects use of the low-frequency transmission and reception circuit and the high-frequency transmission and reception circuit in the first communication state and the second communication state.
