A power conversion apparatus including: a three-level inverter including bridge circuits each including a first semiconductor switching device and a second semiconductor switching device connected in series, the bridge circuits being connected to a positive terminal and a negative terminal of a DC power supply, and switch circuits having bidirectional characteristics and connected to respective AC output terminals of the bridge circuits which are the connection points between the first semiconductor switching devices and the second semiconductor switching devices, and to an intermediate potential point of the DC power supply; and single-phase inverters each including a plurality of semiconductor switching devices and respectively connected in series to the AC output terminals of the bridge circuits. The sum of an output voltage of the three-level inverter and output voltages of the single-phase inverters is supplied to a load. |
