Abstract
A power conversion apparatus having a converter, an inverter controlled by inverter controller, and an input power source fluctuation detecting and controlling circuit is proposed. The input power source fluctuation detecting and controlling circuit includes an input power source fluctuation detector and a converter failure detector to detect overcurrent and/or overvoltage of the converter. When both of the input power source fluctuation and the converter failure are detected, the converter is gate blocked, and the inverter continues its operation, and when the DC voltage become lower than a threshold voltage during the converter is gate blocking, the input power source fluctuation detecting and controlling circuit outputs an inverter control changeover flag to the inverter controller for switching a contents of inverter control.
