Power conversion apparatus that provides a release path for inductive energy accumulated in an inductive load

摘要

A power conversion apparatus includes first, second, third, and fourth switching elements. In a first period, the second and third switching elements are switched ON, and first and fourth switching elements are alternately switched ON/OFF. In a second period, the first and fourth switching elements are switched ON, and the second and third switching elements are alternately switched ON/OFF. In a third period, the first and second switching elements are switched ON, and the third and fourth switching elements are switched OFF. The power conversion apparatus provides a release path for inductive energy accumulated in a reactor.
