1. An air conditioner comprising:
an indoor unit;
an outdoor unit;
an indoor-unit power line; and
an outdoor-unit power line,
the indoor-unit and outdoor-unit power lines branching from a common power line connected to an AC power source,
power being supplied from the indoor-unit power line to the indoor unit,
power being supplied from the outdoor-unit power line to the outdoor unit,
each of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit including
a converter circuit configured to rectify AC power delivered from the AC power source to an associated one of the power lines to DC power and to output the DC power,
an inverter circuit configured to convert the DC power output by the converter circuit into AC power, and
a capacitor connected between input nodes of the inverter circuit,
a total of effective values of integer-order components from second to 40th orders in a total current, which is obtained by adding up an indoor-unit input current and an outdoor-unit input current and which flows through the common power line being less than a sum of
a total of effective values of integer-order components from the second to 40th orders included in the indoor-unit input current that flows through the indoor-unit power line and
a total of effective values of integer-order components from the second to 40th orders included in the outdoor-unit input current that flows through the outdoor-unit power line.
