Abstract: A conventional technique makes a configuration complicated. Provided is an apparatus including: a voltage measuring unit configured to measure each of instantaneous voltages of three-phase AC voltage; and a determination unit configured to determine a state of a power supply source of the three-phase AC voltage based on a result of comparison between a comparison target value corresponding to a sum of n-th powers (n is a positive even number) of the instantaneous voltages of the three-phase AC voltage and a reference value.

Abstract: A transformer is configured to include a pair of cores and that each have an inner leg, wherein a primary winding that is wound around a bobbin having a hollow into which the inner legs of the cores and are inserted, and a secondary winding that has a hollow into which the inner legs of the cores and are inserted and that is constituted of a conductor formed by die-cutting a metal plate into a ring, are dispersedly arranged over the inner legs of the cores and. The bobbin has bobbin support portions that come into contact with a surface of a printed circuit board on which the transformer is implemented.

Abstract: A power supply device includes a first semiconductor switching device for controlling an alternating input current waveform, a smoothing capacitor to which a rectified voltage is applied, and an inverter that converts the rectified voltage into alternating current via a step-up chopper. The step-up chopper includes an inductor and a diode connected between the smoothing capacitor and inverter, and a second semiconductor switching device connected to the inductor and diode. The power supply device further includes an instantaneous voltage drop compensation function whereby the energy of the smoothing capacitor is supplied by an operation of the step-up chopper to the inverter when there is an instantaneous voltage drop in an alternating current power supply voltage. MOSFETs with a breakdown voltage lower than that of the first semiconductor switching device are connected between terminals of the step-up chopper, thus further reducing loss in comparison with when a bypass diode is used.
