Abstract: A first capacitor is connected between first and second power supply lines. A reactor is connected in series with the first power supply line or the second power supply line. A single-phase AC voltage is applied to a rectifying circuit. The rectifying circuit, which includes the first capacitor and the reactor, outputs a rectified voltage to the first and second power supply lines. A buffer circuit includes a second capacitor provided between the first and second power supply lines. The buffer circuit discharges the second capacitor at a controllable duty ratio. A booster circuit boosts the rectified voltage to charge the second capacitor. A DC current to be input to the booster circuit is reduced more as a voltage across the reactor is higher.

Abstract: When a rectifying duty dr, a discharge duty dc, a voltage between both ends Vc of a capacitor, and a rectified voltage Vrec of an AC voltage are introduced, a virtual DC link voltage in an inverter is expressed by dc·Vc+dr·Vrec. The discharge duty is a time ratio at which a switch is conductive. The rectifying duty has a value obtained by subtracting the discharge duty and a zero voltage duty from 1. The zero voltage duty is a time ratio at which the inverter adopts a zero voltage vector irrespective of the magnitude of a voltage output from the inverter. In a boost chopper, the capacitor is charged during a part of a period during which the virtual DC link voltage is greater than the rectified voltage.
