Patent attributes
A DC capacitor and a leg are connected in parallel to a high-voltage-side power line and a low-voltage-side power line. The leg includes a plurality of semiconductor switching elements connected in series between the power lines with an output end, connected to a load, between the plurality of semiconductor switching elements. An attenuator for attenuating a resonance is connected to a main circuit loop formed of the DC capacitor, the high-voltage-side power line, the low-voltage-side power line, a semiconductor switching element in ON state, and a drain-source parasitic capacitance of a semiconductor switching element in OFF state.
