Abstract
A power conversion device according to the present disclosure has one end connected to a DC voltage source and another end connected to a load, and includes: an inverter circuit which converts DC voltage from the DC voltage source to AC voltage to be outputted to the load, and includes a leg in which an upper arm and a lower arm each having a switching element, and a resistor, are connected in series, and a smoothing capacitor connected in parallel to the leg; a current detection circuit which detects voltage across the resistor, to detect current of the resistor; and a control circuit which controls the inverter circuit. The control circuit corrects the current value detected by the current detection circuit, using an operation condition of the inverter circuit, and controls the inverter circuit using the corrected current value. Thus, error occurring in the current detection circuit can be corrected.
