Abstract
A multiphase converter system includes a multiphase converter in which a plurality of converters are connected in parallel; a cooler in which a cooling medium flows so as to cool the multiphase converter; a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the cooling medium; and a controller. The controller is configured to drive the converter for n phase or the converters for n phases when a target output of the multiphase converter is lower than a prescribed output threshold and the temperature of the cooling medium falls within a prescribed temperature range, and to drive the converters for m phases when the target output is lower than the prescribed output threshold and the temperature of the cooling medium is lower than the prescribed temperature range, m being larger than n.
