Abstract: A setting unit sets a duty ratio of a PWM signal based on a target voltage value, and outputs the duty ratio to a voltage conversion circuit. An estimated value calculation unit cyclically calculates an estimated duty ratio value based on the detected input voltage value and the detected output voltage value. An abnormality detection unit cyclically calculates, as a difference value, a difference between an updated estimated value and a comparison reference value, and detects abnormality of a voltage detection unit based on a change in calculated difference value. The updated estimated value is a newly calculated estimated duty ratio value. The comparison reference value is a value based on the estimated duty ratio value calculated in a cycle prior to a cycle in which the updated estimated value is calculated.

Abstract: [Technical Problem] In a power conversion device for stepping up or stepping down the input voltage, when voltage converter become out of order, it is not possible to specify an IGBT element and a current sensor, which is in an extraordinary fault condition. [Solution to Problem] The power conversion device is configured to detect a voltage value of a smoothing condenser, connected in parallel to a load, where the load is to be connected to the power conversion device; detects, by a first current sensor, a current which flows through switching elements in a plurality of voltage converter; decides an abnormality of a switching element, by switching the switching element one by one; specifies the abnormality of the switching element; and specifies that the first current sensor is in an abnormal state, in a case where there is no abnormal state switching elements.
