Zusammenfassung:A compressor, a monitoring system and a method of monitoring a compressor that make it possible to monitor the remaining lifetime of a semiconductor element of a motor control system while the processing load is reduced are provided. A compressor (1) includes: a motor control system (10) that controls the rotation speed of a motor (2); a compressor body (3) that compresses air by being driven by the motor (2); a pressure sensor (20) that is provided on the discharge side of the compressor body (3); and a running controller (11) that performs switching between load running and no-load running on the basis of the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor (20). A motor controller (26) of the motor control system (10) calculates a relative temperature of a semiconductor element relative to a reference temperature by using a temperature of the semiconductor element sensed by a temperature sensor (27) at the time of switching from no-load running to load running, and calculates an amount of change in a remaining lifetime of the semiconductor element corresponding to the relative temperature of the semiconductor element, whereby monitoring the remaining lifetime of the semiconductor element.
