摘要: A backflow preventing device includes a backflow preventing element that is connected between a power supply and a load and that prevents electric current from flowing backward from the load side toward the power supply side, and a commutating device that performs a commutation operation for causing the electric current to flow to a commutation path connected in parallel with the backflow preventing element. A plurality of elements including at least one or more of elements constituting the commutating device are configured as a module, so that, for example, the device can be reduced in size. Moreover, a simplified heat-dissipation design and a simplified air-duct design can be achieved.

摘要: A backflow preventing device includes a backflow preventing element that is connected between a power supply and a load and that prevents electric current from flowing backward from the load side toward the power supply side, a commutating device that performs a commutation operation for causing the electric current to flow to a commutation path connected in parallel with the backflow preventing element, and a controller that sets a time for performing the commutation operation and causes the commutating device to perform the commutation operation based on the set time. The backflow preventing device has a plurality of the commutation paths and has, for example, elements with small current-carrying capacities disposed in the commutation paths to achieve cost reduction and to cope with, for example, failures, thereby allowing for enhanced reliability for reducing recovery electric current.

摘要: A backflow preventing device includes a backflow preventing element connected between a power source and a load, for preventing a backflow of a current from the load side to the power source side, a commutation device configured to perform a commutation operation of causing a current to flow through an other path connected in parallel to the backflow preventing element, and a controller configured to change a pulse width of a commutation drive signal for controlling the commutation device to perform the commutation operation based on a current flowing through the backflow preventing element, and transmitting the commutation drive signal having the changed pulse width to the commutation device. The controller transmits the pulse to the commutation device only for a necessary time period so that the commutation device performs the commutation operation, to thereby reduce electric power relating to the commutation operation not contributing to the power conversion.
