Abstract
An uninterruptible power supply device includes a bidirectional chopper that converts a first DC voltage supplied from a battery into a second DC voltage and supplies the second DC voltage to an inverter when a power failure of a commercial AC power supply occurs. The bidirectional chopper includes a capacitor that stabilizes the second DC voltage. The uninterruptible power supply device further includes: a current detector that detects an output current of the battery; and a control circuit that, based on a detection result by the current detector, calculates an estimated temperature increase value of the capacitor every time a predetermined time period elapses, and stops an operation of the bidirectional chopper when the calculated estimated temperature increase value is higher than an upper limit value.
