A clothing treatment apparatus, comprising:
- a main body that defines an external appearance of the clothing treatment apparatus;
- a drum rotatably disposed inside the main body and configured to accommodate an object to be dried by heated air;
- a compressor configured to compress refrigerant to exchange heat with dehumidified air circulated through a condenser to the drum, wherein the dehumidified air has less moisture relative to the heated air;
- a blower fan configured to generate a flow of the heated air or the dehumidified air;
- a plurality of inverters configured to transfer power to at least one of the drum, the compressor, or the blower fan;
- a converter configured to receive input power from an outside, convert the received input power, and output the converted input power to the plurality of inverters;
- and
- a control unit configured to generate command information corresponding to each of the plurality of inverters and to control the converter based on the generated command information.
