Abstract: A driver circuit is connected to a control terminal of a voltage-controlled switching element via a connection line. The drive circuit drives the switching element. The switching element is switched to an ON state by charging the control terminal of the switching element via the connection line. The switching element is switched to an OFF state by discharging the control terminal of the switching element via the connection line. A voltage at a predetermined position on the connection line is detected. An open circuit state between the control terminal and the predetermined position is detected based on a speed of change in the detected voltage at the predetermined position when the switching element is switched to the ON state or the OFF state.

Abstract: An inverter converts a direct-current (DC) power supplied from different DC power supplies into an alternate-current (AC) power formed by a quasi sinusoidal wave and then outputs the thus converted AC power. A first absolute-value setting switch to a fourth absolute-value setting switch are switched to generate absolute values of AC power by using a combination of a power-supply voltage supplied from each DC power supply and a voltage generated from a voltage supplied from each DC power supply. A first polarity setting switch to a fourth polarity setting switch are switched to generate the polarities of AC power. A control unit controls the switching of the first absolute-value setting switch and the like and the first polarity setting switch and the like. The control unit switches the first polarity switching switch and the like with timing at which the polarity of quasi sinusoidal wave changes.
