    摘要: To aim to reduce ripple current flowing through a capacitor in a power converter apparatus including a converter, the capacitor and an inverter. A current sensor 6 is connected between a capacitor 5 and an inverter circuit 7 for detecting current Iinv flowing from the capacitor 5 to the inverter circuit 7. A frequency detecting subunit 11 performs fast Fourier transform on a waveform of the current Iinv to detect a frequency of a frequency component having the largest amplitude. Also, the frequency detecting subunit 12 detects a zero-cross point of the frequency component having the largest amplitude. Then a carrier signal control subunit 13 performs control such that a frequency and a rise time of a PWM carrier signal for driving the converter circuit 4 match the frequency and the zero-cross point that have been detected by the frequency detecting subunit 11 and the phase detecting subunit 12.

    摘要: In a power conversion circuit operating with high frequency, an off-voltage control circuit 101u of a lower-arm gate drive circuit 24u controls the output voltage of a gate drive power supply 103u to change the output voltage to a voltage lower than a predetermined off voltage during a time period from termination of turn-off operation of a lower arm 22u until start of turn-on operation of an upper arm 21u, and thereafter return the output voltage to the predetermined off voltage immediately after termination of the turn-on operation of the upper arm 21u. With this control, short-circuiting through the upper and lower arms occurring due to a high voltage change dv/dt can be avoided, and the life of a switching element constituting the power conversion circuit improves, increasing the reliability of the power conversion circuit.
