    摘要: An overcurrent protection circuit includes a first switching element including a fourth terminal, a sixth terminal connected to a first terminal, and a fifth terminal, and a second switching element including a seventh terminal connected to the fifth terminal, an eighth terminal connected to the fourth terminal, and a ninth terminal. The first switching element electrically connects the sixth terminal and the fifth terminal in response to detecting a voltage value between the first terminal and a third terminal of the switching device exceeding a predetermined threshold based on the predetermined threshold voltage input into the fourth terminal. The second switching element electrically connects, in response to the sixth terminal and the fifth terminal of the first switching element being electrically connected to each other, the eighth terminal and the ninth terminal to lower the predetermined threshold voltage input into the fourth terminal of the first switching element.

    摘要: A power converter apparatus is provided to include a switching circuit, and a filter circuit. The switching circuit generates an AC voltage by switching a DC voltage at a predetermining switching frequency, and the filter circuit converts the AC voltage from the switching circuit into the DC voltage by low-pass filtering the AC voltage. The filter circuit induces first and second bypass capacitors, and an inductor. The first bypass capacitor bypasses noise of a first frequency component of the AC voltage from the switching circuit, and the second bypass capacitor bypasses noise of a second frequency component of the AC voltage from the switching circuit, which is lower than the first frequency component. The inductor is inserted between the first and second bypass capacitors, and the inductance thereof is set so that a resonance frequency of the filter circuit is lower than the switching frequency by insertion of the inductor.
