Abstract
First to sixth switching elements forming a power conversion circuit for one phase in a three-level power converting apparatus include transistor elements and diode elements connected in reverse parallel to the transistor elements. Second, third, fifth, and sixth transistor elements are configured by MOSFETs that enable an electric current to flow in two directions.
