Abstract: In a switching power supply device, a control circuit controls a first thyristor, a second thyristor, and a switching element according to an input voltage. The control circuit maintains the first thyristor in an on state while maintaining the second thyristor and the switching element in an off state in a first period in which the absolute amplitude value is equal to or less than a first threshold value within the latter half of a first half-cycle of the input voltage at startup, and maintains the second thyristor in an on state while maintaining the first thyristor and the switching element in an off state in a second period in which the absolute amplitude value is equal to or less than a second threshold value within the latter half of a second half-cycle of the input voltage at startup. The second half-cycle is the half-cycle following the first half-cycle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a high-temperature operating fuel cell system including: a fuel cell stack; a combustor that combusts a cathode off-gas and an anode off-gas; a heat insulator that covers at least part of the fuel cell stack and at least part of the combustor; a first preheater that covers at least part of the heat insulator and preheats an oxidant gas; an oxidant gas feeder that supplies the oxidant gas to the first preheater; a vacuum heat insulator that covers at least part of the first preheater; a sensor that detects information indicating stopping of a power generation operation; and a controller. When a determination is made that the power generation has stopped, the controller controls the oxidant gas feeder to supply the oxidant gas to the first preheater so that the temperature of the vacuum heat insulator is equal to or lower than a prescribed temperature.
