Abstract
An electric power conversion device includes a first arm and a second arm each including converter cells. The converter cell of the first arm is a first converter cell having a full-bridge configuration including an energy storing element and semiconductor switching elements. The converter cell of the second arm is a second converter cell having a half-bridge configuration including an energy storing element and semiconductor switching elements. Thus, short-circuit current between DC terminals is suppressed.
