Abstract

See full text

A power conversion apparatus sets a point between AC input terminals of a full-wave rectifying circuit as an input terminal of an alternating voltage, connects a series circuit of two switches between DC output terminals, connects a series circuit of a capacitor and an inductor with a midpoint of the two switches, forms a closed loop with the first switch, the capacitor and the inductor, connects a series circuit of a diode and a smoothing capacitor with the midpoint of the two switches, forms a closed loop with the first switch, the diode and the smoothing capacitor, sets both ends of the smoothing capacitor as output terminals of direct voltages, and changes a switching frequency according to an average voltage per unit time of the direct voltages output from the output terminals.
