Abstract
In one embodiment, a power conversion device that converts power between a DC circuit and an AC circuit includes a plurality of leg circuits connected in parallel between first and second DC terminals and electrically connected to the AC circuit. Each of the plurality of leg circuits includes at least one first converter cell and a plurality of second converter cells other than the first converter cell. A first control signal that controls switching of a semiconductor switching element included in at least one first converter cell is higher in frequency than a second control signal that controls switching of a semiconductor switching element included in each of the plurality of second converter cells.
