Abstract
A power conversion apparatus includes: a reactor; a rectifier circuit that includes a first leg including switching elements connected in series and a second leg connected in parallel with the first leg, including switching elements connected in series; and a smoothing capacitor that smooths an output voltage of the rectifier circuit. The power conversion apparatus also includes an inverter that converts a direct-current voltage smoothed by the smoothing capacitor into a drive voltage for a motor and applies the drive voltage to the motor; a voltage detection unit that detects the direct-current voltage; and a control unit that controls operation of the rectifier circuit and the inverter. The control unit controls operations of the switching elements on the basis of an induced voltage induced in the motor and a detected value of the direct-current voltage.
