Abstract

In a power conversion device, a capacitor series circuit is connected in parallel with a direct current power supply, outputs an alternating current voltage having three or more potentials in a half-cycle period with the capacitor series circuit as a direct current input, wherein a neutral point of an alternating current load and an intermediate connection point of the capacitor series circuit are directly connected, the voltage of each of the capacitors is detected, and a zero voltage vector obtained by making each alternating current output of the same potential is adjusted in accordance with the difference between the voltages.

Claims (16)

1 . A power conversion equipment that, a capacitor series circuit in which a plurality of capacitors are connected in series being connected in parallel with a direct current power supply, outputs an alternating current voltage having three or more potentials in a half-cycle with the capacitor series circuit as a direct current input, wherein

a neutral point of a star-connected alternating current load and an intermediate connection point of the capacitor series circuit are directly connected.

2 . The power conversion equipment according to claim 1 , wherein

the voltage of each of the capacitors is detected, and a zero voltage vector obtained by making each alternating current output of the same potential is adjusted in accordance with the difference between the voltages.

3 . The power conversion equipment according to claim 1 , wherein

when the difference between the detected voltage of each of the capacitors is smaller than a predetermined value, the voltage of each of the capacitors is adjusted by controlling to a mode in which each alternating current output is of a neutral point potential.

4 . The power conversion equipment according to claim 2 , wherein

when the difference between the detected voltage of each of the capacitors is smaller than a predetermined value, the voltage of each of the capacitors is adjusted by controlling to a mode in which each alternating current output is of a neutral point potential.

a capacitor series circuit including a plurality of capacitors connected in series, adapted to be connected in parallel with the direct current power supply;

wherein the capacitor series circuit outputs an alternating current voltage having three or more potentials in a half-cycle with the capacitor series circuit as a direct current input; and

wherein a neutral point of a star-connected alternating current load and an intermediate connection point of the capacitor series circuit are directly connected.

6 . The power conversion device according to claim 5 , wherein

the voltage of each of the capacitors is detected, and a zero voltage vector obtained by making each alternating current output of the same potential is adjusted in accordance with the difference between the voltages.

7 . The power conversion device according to claim 5 , wherein

when the difference between the detected voltage of each of the capacitors is smaller than a predetermined value, the voltage of each of the capacitors is adjusted by controlling to a mode in which each alternating current output is of a neutral point potential.
