Abstract
A power converter includes: input terminals for inputting a DC voltage; output terminals for outputting an AC voltage; a switch; a first resonant capacitance connected between both ends of the switch; a first LC resonance circuit connected in series with the switch between the output terminals; and a second LC resonance circuit connected between the input terminals and the switch. The first LC resonance circuit includes an inductance and a capacitance in series. When the input terminals are shorted, frequency characteristics of an impedance of the second LC resonance circuit include first to fourth resonant frequencies. The first resonant frequency is higher than a switching frequency of the switch. The second and fourth resonant frequencies are around double and four times the switching frequency. The impedance has local maxima at the first and third resonant frequencies and local minima at the second and fourth resonant frequencies.
