摘要: A power conversion device includes a first bridge circuit, a second bridge circuit, and an inductance element connected between a first AC terminal of the first bridge circuit and a second AC terminal of the second bridge circuit. The controller calculates a passing current passing through the inductance element based on a difference between a first alternating current flowing between the first AC terminal and the inductance element and a second alternating current flowing between the second AC terminal and the inductance element, and detects a first DC component included in the passing current. The controller changes a duty in at least one of the first AC voltage and the second AC voltage to cancel the detected first DC component, the duty being a ratio of a positive potential period and a negative potential period.

摘要: In a start-up control in which primary-side direct-current (DC) terminals and secondary-side DC terminals are charged by an external power supply outside a power conversion device, initially, one-side DC terminals are charged by the external power supply while switching operations of the primary-side bridge circuit and the secondary-side bridge circuit are stopped. Subsequently, a bridge circuit that is connected to the DC terminals not charged by the external power supply stops the switching operation and operates in a diode rectifying mode, while a bridge circuit that is connected to the DC terminals charged by the external power supply performs the switching operation and outputs an AC voltage whose voltage pulse width has been subjected to a variable control so that the voltage pulse width is smaller for a greater voltage difference of the charged DC terminals from the uncharged DC terminals.

The respective switching elements are arranged such that the mutual positional relationship between the positive terminals and the negative terminals is the same as a direction of main current flowing through the external stacked conductor. The plurality of switching elements are arranged symmetrically with respect to a center line of the external stacked conductor which is in the same direction as the main current. External connection terminals are provided to the AC conductor, so as to be positioned symmetrically with respect to the center line.
