Abstract

A power conversion device includes: a power converter using a switching element; and a noise reduction circuit, the noise reduction circuit including: a noise detector configured to detect a common mode noise current or a common mode noise voltage generated in a power line in response to operation of the power converter; an amplifier configured to generate a compensation current based on a detection signal from the noise detector; and an output circuit configured to output the compensation current generated by the amplifier to the power line. A power conversion board carrying the power converter and a canceler board carrying the amplifier are different boards.

Claims (21)

1 . A power conversion device comprising:

a power converter using a switching element; and

a noise reduction circuit, the noise reduction circuit comprising:

a noise detector configured to detect a common mode noise current or a common mode noise voltage generated in a power line in response to operation of the power converter;

an amplifier configured to generate a compensation current based on a detection signal from the noise detector; and

an output circuit configured to output the compensation current generated by the amplifier to the power line, wherein

a power conversion board carrying the power converter and a canceler board carrying the amplifier are different boards.

2 . The power conversion device according to claim 1 , further comprising a power terminal block for connection to an AC power supply, wherein

the noise detector is located closer to the power terminal block than to the power conversion board.

3 . The power conversion device according to claim 1 , further comprising a power terminal block for connection to an AC power supply, wherein

the canceler board is located closer to the power terminal block than to the power conversion board.

4 . The power conversion device according to claim 1 , further comprising a noise filter between the noise reduction circuit and the power converter.

5 . The power conversion device according to claim 4 , further comprising a housing accommodating the power conversion board and the canceler board, the housing including a ground terminal for connection to a ground wire and a conductive portion having a same potential as the ground terminal, wherein

a compensation path connection terminal, which is a terminal for output of a compensation current from the noise reduction circuit, and a ground terminal of the noise filter are separately connected to the conductive portion of the housing.

6 . The power conversion device according to claim 5 , wherein a terminal on the housing for connection to the compensation path connection terminal is located closer to the ground terminal of the housing than a terminal on the housing for connection to the ground terminal of the noise filter is.

7 . The power conversion device according to claim 4 , wherein another power converter is connected to a load side of the noise filter in parallel with the power converter.

8 . The power conversion device according to claim 4 , wherein the noise filter is mounted on the canceler board.

9 . The power conversion device according to claim 4 , wherein power supply for the noise reduction circuit is supplied from another board to the canceler board, and a noise reduction element is provided on a path for the power supply.

10 . The power conversion device according to claim 1 , wherein power supply for the noise reduction circuit is supplied from another board to the canceler board.

11 . The power conversion device according to claim 1 , wherein the noise detector is a detection core configured to detect the common mode noise current.

12 . A refrigeration apparatus comprising the power conversion device according to claim 1 .
