Current supply circuit, designing method therefor, and polyphase drive circuit

The loss in a current supply circuit including an inverter having a switching element is reduced. The dynamic loss of the IGBT element including a free wheel diode is proportional to the product of a turn-on loss and a switching frequency while the static loss is proportional to the product of a current flowing to the IGBT element and a saturation voltage between the collector and emitter. Even if the resistance of the IGBT element is increased by twice, the saturation voltage between the collector and the emitter is not increased by twice. Accordingly, the voltage and current given to the load are multiplied by 2 and 1 / 2, respectively, so that the powers given to the load are identical.
