    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 disclosure relates to a motor driving apparatus and an air conditioner including the same. The motor driving apparatus and the air conditioner including the same according to an embodiment of the present disclosure include: a switching device disposed between an inverter and a motor; and a controller, which in response to windings of the motor being switched from a first connection to a second connection, controls an operating frequency of the motor to be less than or equal to a first frequency, and in response to the windings of the motor being switched from the second connection to the first connection, controls an operating frequency of the motor to be less than or equal to a second frequency which is less than the first frequency. Accordingly, burnout of the switching device for switching connection of the motor windings may be prevented.

    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.
