Abstract
A power converter includes first to fourth terminals, a transformer including primary and secondary windings, an inverter connected between the first and second terminals and the primary winding, a converter connected between fifth and sixth terminals, and a controller. The converter includes first to eighth switch circuits each including a diode and a switch connected in parallel. When a voltage between the fifth and sixth terminals has first polarity, the controller controls the first switch circuit to be in on-state during a first on-period and controls the fifth switch circuit to be in on-state during a second on-period completely including the first on-period. When the voltage between the fifth and sixth terminals has second polarity, the controller controls the second switch circuit to be in on-state during a third on-period and controls the sixth switch circuit to be in on-state during a fourth on-period completely including the third on-period.
