<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power converter which can output a voltage current waveform of small harmonic component without requiring a harmonic suppression filter. <P>SOLUTION: The power converter comprises a phase arm 11a consisting of a series connection of a multi-level leg 13a formed by connecting one or more switching unit 12 in series, and an on/off leg 14a formed by connecting one or more switching element Q1 having self arc-extinguishing capability in series, and a control unit 15 which controls each switching element configuring the phase arm. The DC side end (a) in the farthest end switching unit 12a of the phase arm is connected with one of the positive or negative side of a DC power supply (C5, Vdc), the DC side end (b) of the farthest end on/off leg 14a of the phase arm is connected with the other of the positive or negative side of the DC power supply, and the joint of the multi-level leg 13a and the on/off leg 14a is connected with an AC power supply Vs as an AC terminal Tac. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
