Abstract

A power converter including a compressor as a load includes a compensation current output () allowing compensation current (Ic), which compensates for leakage current (Ia), to flow. A controller () receives a detection signal from a rotational speed sensor () which senses the rotational speed of the compressor (CM). When the rotational speed has increased to a set rotational speed at which the leakage current (Ia) is lower than or equal to its limiting value (Lmax) (e.g., the limiting value specified under the Electrical Appliances and Materials Safety Act or by the IEC) in a state where the compensation current output () is off, the compensation current output () is switched from an on state to an off state. This may reduce the leakage current from the compressor with low power loss.
