    Abstract: A converter for converting AC power from an AC power supply into DC power and outputting the DC power, an inverter for converting the DC power outputted from the converter into AC power of a variable frequency and a variable voltage value, and supplying the AC power to a load, a shunt resistor for detecting an output current of the converter, and a control device for controlling the inverter based on the detected output current are provided. The control device calculates an input current of the converter from the output current detected by the shunt resistor, and, when the calculated input current exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the control device causes the manner of operation of said inverter to be changed so as to reduce the input current of the converter.

    Abstract: A power converter including: a non-boost rectifier circuit that converts a first alternating-current voltage into a direct-current voltage; a reactor connected to the rectifier circuit; a capacitor that smooths a direct-current voltage; an inverter that is connected in parallel to the capacitor, converts the smoothed direct-current voltage into a second alternating-current voltage having desired voltage and frequency, and outputs the second alternating-current voltage to a motor; and a controller that controls an operation of the inverter. Capacitances of the reactor and the capacitor are set such that a resonance frequency of a filter circuit including the reactor and the capacitor is smaller than a first electrical angular frequency based on a voltage command when the controller controls an operation of the inverter such that the second alternating-current voltage is maximized in a range not causing overmodulation.

    Abstract: Included are a rectifier circuit that rectifies a first alternating-current voltage; a reactor connected to the rectifier circuit; a capacitor connected to an output end of the rectifier circuit; an inverter that is connected to the capacitor, generates a second alternating-current voltage through operations of a plurality of switching elements, and applies the second alternating-current voltage to a motor including a stator and a rotor; and a control unit that performs operation controls on the plurality of switching elements. The control unit causes the inverter to apply, to the motor, the second alternating-current voltage having a higher frequency than when the motor is in compression operation so as not to rotate the rotor. The application of the high-frequency second alternating-current voltage from the inverter to the motor generates a regenerative current and a current flows to the capacitor due to the regenerative current without impairing the capacitor.
