Abstract
A power conversion circuit uses a multiphase AC power source as an input and has a plurality of bidirectional switches each of which is connected to each phase of the multiphase AC power source. A switching control circuit controls the states of the plurality of bidirectional switches and switches a combination of two phases of the multiphase AC power source, relating to interphase voltage to be outputted from the power conversion circuit to a load side. A resonant circuit is connected to an output side of the power conversion circuit. The switching control circuit, at a time of switching of the combination of the two phases that output the interphase voltage to the load side, switches the states of the bidirectional switches relating to the switching, by soft switching.
