A film capacitor includes a capacitor element, a first bus bar, and a second bus bar. The first bus bar includes a first electrode connecting part connected to the first electrode of the capacitor element at one end and a first connection terminal at another end. The second bus bar includes a second electrode connecting part connected to the second electrode of the capacitor element at one end and a second connection terminal at another end. The first bus bar includes a branch part that is branched from a position closer to the first electrode connecting part than the first connection terminal and extends toward the second electrode along a peripheral surface of the capacitor element. The second bus bar includes an overlapping part that overlaps at least a part of the branch part. The overlapping part is along the peripheral surface of the capacitor element.

A control circuit controls a plurality of conversion switching elements by first drive signals and a plurality of adjustment switching elements by second drive signals. The control circuit is configured to adjust a phase difference which is a delay of the phase of each of the second drive signals to the phase of each of the first drive signals to a set value within a prescribed range to adjust the magnitude of output power. The prescribed range includes at least one of a range of 270 degrees to 360 degrees and a range of 90 degrees to 180 degrees.
