<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a cost and improve an efficiency regarding a power converter with a switching element composed of a unipolar element using a wideband gap semiconductor. <P>SOLUTION: An inverter circuit (120) is configured so as to conduct a synchronous commutation by the six switching elements (130). The switching elements (130) are composed of the unipolar elements (SiC MOSFETs in this case) using the wideband gap semiconductors. The inverter circuit (120) uses parasitic diodes (131) for the SiC MOSFETs (130) as reflux diodes, and conducts the synchronous commutation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
