<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent overheat of a bidirectional DC-DC converter 100 connecting between a high-voltage battery 200 and an electric motor 40 of an electromagnetic suspension device. <P>SOLUTION: A primary switching circuit 110 and a secondary switching circuit 120 of a DC-DC converter 100 includes a switching element pair SP with two switching elements S connected in parallel at each of portions for performing switching. A switch control section 140 detects failure in the switching element pair SP based on an electric current running through one switching element S of the each switching element pair SP, a primary total current i1 and a secondary total current i2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
