Abstract
A power conversion apparatus is provided with a plurality of DC-DC converters. Each of the DC-DC converters includes at least one gate resistor and a gate driver. The gate driver is configured to selectively connect a gate electrode of a switching element, via the gate resistor, with one of an on-potential point and an off-potential point. A gate resistor of a second DC-DC converter has a higher resistance than a gate resistor of a first DC-DC converter.
