Abstract
Provided is a power converter for converting electric power between a power source and a load, including: a boosting device including a boost rectifier configured to prevent a backflow of a current from the load side to the power source side, the boosting device being configured to change a voltage of electric power supplied from the power source to a predetermined voltage; a commutation device configured to perform a commutation operation of directing a current flowing through the boosting device to another path; and a controller configured to perform control related to the voltage change of the boosting device and control related to the commutation operation of the commutation device, in which the commutation device is configured to flow, when the commutation device performs the commutation operation, a current generating a voltage causing reverse recovery of the boost rectifier to the commutation device side.
