Original Abstract Submitted

the remaining life estimation device is a remaining life estimation device of a power converter including a life part accommodated in a case. the remaining life estimation device includes a processor for calculating remaining life information of the life part. the processor calculates a cumulative exposure time for each life part temperature of the life part, converts each cumulative exposure time into a converted cumulative exposure time by reflecting a life conversion coefficient to each cumulative exposure time calculated for each life part temperature, and calculates the remaining life information based on a life reduction time that is a sum of the converted cumulative exposure time for each life part temperature and a reference life time that is a life time of the life part under the reference value.
