Abstract

PURPOSE: To eliminate an arc discharge between contacts even when the contact of a contactor is suddenly opened during charging of a smoothing capacitor by connecting the connecting point between the contactor and a DC reactor to the cathode of a diode, and connecting the anode of the diode to the cathode side of the smoothing capacitor. CONSTITUTION: The connecting point between a contactor 3 and a DC reactor 1 is connected to the cathode of a diode 11, and the anode of the diode 11 is connected to the cathode side of a smoothing capacitor 5. When inverter control means 8 judges that the charging state of the capacitor 3 is a reference value or less, it opens the contactor 3 to prevent the flow of rush current to the reactor 1. An electromotive force is generated in the direction for charging the capacitor 5 at the moment when the contactor 3 is opened during conducting. At this time, the energy stored in the reactor is consumed as the circulating current passing a closed loop consisting of the reactor 1, the capacitor 5 and the diode 11.
