Abstract
A compact, low-cost outage management emergency power supply device with a simple constitution is provided by connecting an auxiliary capacitor and charging battery to a DC link portion. In one embodiment, an auxiliary capacitor is connected in series via a switching circuit to a DC link portion which supplies direct-current voltage of a converter device which converts alternating-current voltage to direct-current voltage, and the input-output of current to the auxiliary capacitor is controlled by the switching circuit, so that the capacity of the additional auxiliary capacitor is not subject to limitations. Further, in another embodiment, a charging battery is connected to a DC link portion via a parallel circuit of a switching circuit or diode, and a resistor.
