Title:
ELECTRIC POWER CONVERSION DEVICE AND SURGE VOLTAGE REDUCTION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/121765
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An electric power conversion device which can convert a direct current electric power supplied by a direct current power source (2) into an alternate current electric power, and which comprises: six switching elements each composed of a voltage-driven transistor (6-i) (wherein i = 1, 2, …, 6) equipped with a wide band gap semiconductor and a diode (4-i); and drive circuits (5-i) that can control a voltage to be used for driving the transistor (6-i) based on a predetermined voltage profile when the switching elements are turned off, wherein the predetermined voltage profile is so determined as to drive the transistor (6-i) in a non-linear region.
