  • Publication number: 20140049198
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a power switching circuit that supplies AC voltages generated between switching elements operating as upper arms and switching elements operating as lower arms, and a control circuit that generates and supplies to the driver circuit signals for controlling the switching operation of the switching elements by a PWM method in a first operational region in which frequency of an AC power to be outputted is low, and that generates and supplies to the driver circuit signals for controlling the switching operation of the switching elements at timings based upon the phase of the AC power to be outputted in an operational region in which the frequency of the AC power to be outputted is higher than in the first operational region.

  • Patent number: 8471518
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a power switching circuit that has a plurality of series circuits in each of which a switching element that operates as an upper arm and a switching element that operates as a lower arm are connected in series, and a control circuit that generates control signals for controlling the continuity or discontinuity of the switching elements, and, if the relationship between the state of a switching element in a control cycle and the state of the switching element in the next control cycle is a discontinuous relationship, that additionally performs control to make the switching element continuous or discontinuous on the basis of the state of the switching element in the control cycle and the state of the switching element in the next control cycle.
