Abstract
A controlling circuitry of a power converter performs switchover control for, on the basis of a level specification signal, switching between a 3-level operation mode of outputting AC voltage composed of 3-level voltages at a positive side and a negative side of a DC circuit and a voltage-division point of DC voltage between the positive side and the negative side of the DC circuit by performing ON/OFF control of semiconductor elements, and a 2-level operation mode of outputting AC voltage composed of 2-level voltages at the positive side and the negative side of the DC circuit by performing ON/OFF control of the semiconductor elements, and switches a compensation value for compensating error between a voltage command and AC voltage, between a case of the 2-level operation mode and a case of the 3-level operation mode.
