An air-conditioning apparatus includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit including a compressor that compresses a refrigerant and a motor drive system that drives the compressor. The motor drive system includes an inverter that converts a DC voltage into an AC voltage, and an electric motor including three stator windings with both ends open. The electric motor operates based on the AC voltage obtained by the inverter. The motor drive system further includes a connection state switching unit that has a function to change the connection state of the three stator windings included in the electric motor, and sets the connection state to a star connection at the start of operation of the air-conditioning apparatus.
