Title:

Power converter

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP5999526

Kind Code:

B2

Abstract:

An increase in leakage current when a reverse voltage is applied to reverse-blocking insulated gate bipolar transistors is suppressed, thus reducing a loss resulting from the leakage current. A power conversion device includes a bidirectional switch (SW) formed by connecting two reverse-blocking insulated gate bipolar transistors (T3 and T4) having reverse breakdown voltage characteristics in reverse parallel. A control circuit (CC) is configured so as to output command signals for bringing the gates of the reverse-blocking insulated gate bipolar transistors (T3 and T4), to which a reverse voltage is applied, into an on state.
