Patent attributes
This power conversion device includes a rectification circuit, a reactor, an inverter circuit, and an isolation transformer. The inverter circuit is composed of a first leg A, a second leg B, and a DC capacitor connected in parallel between DC buses. A first AC end of the first leg A is connected to a positive DC terminal of the rectification circuit via the reactor. High power factor control of current iac flowing from an AC power supply via the rectification circuit is performed by PWM control for the first leg A, and voltage Vdc of the DC capacitor is controlled by PWM control for the second leg B using a duty cycle equal to or smaller than that for the first leg A, thereby controlling power outputted to the secondary side of the isolation transformer.
