Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a power transforming apparatus capable of reducing a stress of a converter switch during a PFC operation, an operation method thereof, and an air conditioner including the same. To this end, the power transforming apparatus according to the present disclosure may determine the number of converters for performing the PFC operation based on a magnitude of input power and a speed of the motor. Furthermore, the PFC operation may be performed using only one converter when determining a low-load in order to improve efficiency. In addition, a target converter channel may be selected using a random function or determined to be changed using a previous operation history without specifying a target converter channel in advance at an initial stage of the PFC operation so as not to add a stress to any one converter switch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a power conversion device and an air conditioner comprising the same. The power conversion device according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a rectification unit for rectifying input alternating current power; a boost converter for boosting power rectified from the rectification unit and outputting the same; a dc-end capacitor connected to an output end of the boost converter; an inductor current detection unit for detecting an inductor current flowing in an inductor within the boost converter; a dc-end voltage detection unit for detecting voltages of both ends of the dc-end capacitor; and a control unit for controlling the boost converter, wherein the control unit generates and outputs a converter switching control signal by performing proportional resonant control for a duty command value of a switching element within the boost converter, on the basis of the detected inductor current and dc-end voltage. Therefore, a harmonic current component flowing through a dc-end capacitor induced by a ripple component of an input voltage can be reduced.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a power transforming apparatus capable of reducing a stress of a converter switch during a PFC operation, an operation method thereof, and an air conditioner including the same. To this end, the power transforming apparatus according to the present disclosure may determine the number of converters for performing a PFC operation based on a magnitude of input power and a speed of the motor. Furthermore, target converter channels are arbitrarily selected using a random function at an initial stage of a PFC operation so as not to add a stress to a switch device of any one converter. In addition, in order to disperse a stress to all switches, phases are individually controlled to perform switching operations while changing converters that match the number of converters for performing a PFC operation in a preset cycle, for example, whenever a zero-crossing is detected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a power conversion device and an air conditioner comprising the same. The power conversion device according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: an interleaved boost converter; a dc terminal capacitor connected to an output terminal of the interleaved boost converter; a load connected to the dc terminal capacitor; and a controller for controlling the interleaved boost converter, wherein the controller controls the phase difference between a first boost converter and second boost converter of the interleaved boost converter so that the phase difference is a first phase difference in a first mode, and if a current ripple flowing in the dc terminal capacitor is a predetermined value or greater, the controller enters a second mode and controls the phase difference between the first boost converter and second boost converter of the interleaved boost converter so that the phase difference varies. Accordingly, the ripple current flowing into a capacitor disposed at the output terminal of an interleaved boost converter can be reduced.
