Power supply device

摘要

A connection switch control part that, within a voltage change period where an applied voltage to an inverter can be changed by repeatedly and alternately switching to a serial state where a first power supply and a second power supply are connected in series to the inverter and to a parallel state where the first power supply and the second power supply are connected in parallel to the inverter, provides: a first period during which current of either one of the first power supply and the second power supply changes with an increasing trend, and current of the other one changes with a decreasing trend; and a second period during which current of one of the power supplies changes with a decreasing trend and current of the other power supply changes with an increasing trend.

1. A power supply device comprising:
a plurality of output circuits, each provided with a reactor and a power supply connected in series; and a control device that performs a step-up operation of the power supply at a predetermined step-up ratio in a switching cycle that comprises a first period, second period, a third period and a fourth period so as to repeatedly and alternately switch the serial connection state and the parallel connection state in the switching cycle, wherein: a first period during which current that flows to at least one of the reactors of part of the plurality of output circuits changes with an increasing trend, and current that flows to the other reactor changes with a decreasing trend; a second period during which current that flows to the one reactor changes with a decreasing trend and current that flows to the other reactor changes with an increasing trend; a third period during which a serial connection state, where the plurality of output circuits are connected in series to an electrical load, is set; and a fourth period during which a parallel connection state, where the plurality of output circuits are connected in parallel to the electrical load, is set; wherein, in the first period, the control device configured to maintain an output voltage of the power supply device substantially constant; and wherein, in the second period, the control device configured to change the current that flows to the one reactor and the current that flows to the other reactor until the current that flows to the one reactor and the current that flows to the other reactor become equal while maintaining an output voltage of the power supply device substantially constant.
