The invention relates to the field of
power equipment, in particular to a power converter and a control method thereof. The power converter comprises a primary side bridge arm, a
secondary side bridge arm, a
transformer connected between the primary side bridge arm and the
secondary side bridge arm, and a
control circuit connected with the primary side bridge arm and the
secondary side bridge arm. The
control circuit is used for detecting whether the output
voltage of the power converter suddenly rises or not, and when the output
voltage suddenly rises, the phase shift angle between the primary side bridge arm and the secondary side bridge arm is controlled to be smaller than 0 so as to reduce the output
voltage. According to the invention, the dynamic performance and the load adaptability under the sudden rise of the output voltage are improved, the output voltage is rapidly recovered, and the safety of the load is ensured.
