Abstract
In one embodiment, an electric power converting device includes a converter which converts a three-phase AC voltage output from a three-phase AC power source, into a DC voltage of each phase of a three-phase AC load, and an inverter which converts the DC voltage converted by the converter, into a single-phase AC voltage of each phase of the three-phase AC load. The converter includes for each phase of an electric power system a circuit which consists of a plurality of switching elements connected in series. The electric power converting device controls on/off of a switching element corresponding to one of phases of the electric power system in the converter such that a voltage which reduces fluctuation of a DC voltage applied between the converter and the inverter and corresponding to each phase of the three-phase AC load is output from the converter for each phase of the electric power system.
