- the drive signal of the commutation means 7 is turned on.
- current starts to flow through the secondary side path of the transformer 71 due to the excitation current. Therefore, current flows in a diverted direction in each direction of the rectifying element 3a and the commutating rectifying element 72.
- the drive signal of the commutating means 7 is maintained in the ON state, no current flows through the rectifying element 3a, and the entire current flows through the commutating rectifying element 72 (commutation complete).
- the commutation power supply 75 in the transformer drive circuit 73 is set to a sufficiently small value as compared with the output voltage of the smoothing means 5, so that the rectifying element can be applied with a small reverse bias voltage. 3a can be turned off (reverse recovery).
- the short-circuit switch 42 is turned on in this state, the reverse recovery operation of the commutation rectifier element 72 is performed, and a recovery current is also generated in this case.

- these devices have a specification with a large allowable value of the effective current value, crystal defects increase and costs increase. Since an element with a small allowable value of the effective current value can be used as the commutation rectifying element 72 in the present embodiment, it is possible to realize a power conversion device with good cost performance and high efficiency.

If the on-duty signal is larger, the short-circuit switch 42 is A drive signal to be turned on is sent. On the other hand, when the triangular wave signal is larger, a drive signal for turning off the short-circuit switch 42 is sent.
- the active direction of the two parties and whether or not to include the threshold in the ON state may be changed as necessary.
- the drive signal of the commutation means 7 (commutation switch 74) is generated using a second triangular wave signal having a predetermined hysteresis width with respect to the first triangular wave signal. For example, if the first triangular wave signal is larger than the reference signal when the second triangular wave signal and the on-duty signal have the same value in the falling period (second half) of the first and second triangular wave signals, the commutation is performed. The drive signal of means 7 is turned on. On the other hand, if the second triangular wave signal is smaller than the on-duty signal when the first triangular wave signal and the on-duty signal have the same value, the drive signal of the commutation means 7 is turned off.
- the driving signal of the commutation means 7 is switched on or off.
- the transformer 71 operates from the output of the drive signal of the commutation means 7 and starts commutation to the commutation rectifier element 72. For this reason, it is preferable to set in consideration of the delay time for the purpose.
- the off timing of the commutation means 7 the delay time of the transformer drive circuit 73, the reverse recovery time of the rectifier element 3a (usually several hundred ns to several ⁇ s), and the reverse recovery time of the commutation rectifier element 72 (usually several ns) It may be set in consideration of up to several hundred ns). Then, whether or not to include the two active directions and thresholds may be changed as necessary.
- the determination of whether the triangular wave signal is in the falling period (second half) may be performed by, for example, periodically determining the first half or the second half using a timer or the like when generating the triangular wave signal. The determination may be made based on the determination of the signal on timing and the off timing by time management of the triangular wave signal (elapsed time is counted).
- the generation timing of the recovery current in the rectifying elements 3a and 3b differs depending on the phase of the power supply voltage.
- a current path passes through the rectifying element 3a.
- a current path passes through the rectifying element 3b.
- each anode side is connected to the bus N side of the circuit. For this reason, even when a reverse bias voltage is applied as in the rectifying elements 3a and 3b, a recovery current is unlikely to occur. However, by applying commutation control, it is possible to further reduce noise and loss.
