Abstract: Electric power conversion devices carry out feedback control, so that a difference between a duty ratio and a duty ratio target value may approach zero, while a duty ratio, which becomes the origin of a drive signal of a semiconductor switching element, is limited by a prescribed upper limit. The control part issues a first operation result, which is limited by a first upper limit, with respect to an operation value which is on an operation process for controlling an output electric power, and further a second operation result which is limited by a second upper limit, which is set as a value higher than the first upper limit, with respect to an operation value. In addition, the control part is configured to carry out the proportional plus integral control, by a difference between the second operation result and a target value of the second operation result.

Abstract: A rectification device equipped with: a rectification circuit wherein switch elements are on the two sides adjacent to the side of an AC power source on which a feedback current flows, and the other two sides are rectification elements; an input voltage detector; an input current detector; and a control circuit that modulates the pulse width to control the switch elements in response to the difference between the input current and an input current target value generated on the basis of a synchronized sine wave synchronized with the input voltage. When the polarity of the input voltage, the input current, or the synchronized sine wave differs from the polarity of the other two, the two switch elements are switched simultaneously. Thus, it is possible to prevent circuit damage in the rectification device and to reduce the power factor even when there is a possibility of short-circuiting in the AC power.
