In the power conversion device described in Patent Document 1, the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit formed by the capacitor and reactor is set so that the capacitor and reactor pass ripple current components contained in the DC current output from the converter circuit and attenuate current components having the same frequency as the carrier frequency of the inverter circuit.

The noise filter unit 400 includes a common mode choke coil 401 and X capacitors 402 and 403 that are capacitors connected between the lines of the power supply lines.

[0013] 3 is a diagram showing an example of an equivalent circuit when the power conversion device 1 according to the first embodiment is connected to an AC power supply 600. The equivalent circuit of the power conversion device 1 is composed of a reactor 200, a converter output voltage source 300, a combined power supply inductance 700, and a noise filter unit 400. The converter output voltage source 300 means that the converter output voltage contains an AC component due to the switching of the power factor correction circuit 100. The current flowing through the reactor 200 is referred to as a reactor current i L The current flowing through the combined power supply inductance 700 is the power supply current i s In the noise filter section 400, the self-inductance of the common mode choke coil 401 is cancelled out, so a leakage inductance component appears in the equivalent circuit.

Hereinafter, inductance 404 in the normal mode of the common mode choke coil will be referred to as inductance 404 of the normal component of the common mode choke coil.

In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis indicates frequency and the vertical axis indicates gain. The equivalent circuit shown in FIG. 3 includes the reactor 200, the X capacitors 402 and 403, and the combined power supply inductance 700, and therefore two resonance points appear as shown in FIG. 4. In other words, the power conversion device 1 has two resonance frequencies. The lower of the resonance points, i.e., the resonance frequency, is referred to as the first resonance frequency f r1 The higher resonance point, i.e., the resonance frequency, is called the second resonance frequency f r2 It is called.

[0015] Here, if the reactor 200 is designed without taking the noise filter unit 400 into consideration, the power conversion device 1 will have a power supply current i s may oscillate.

[0016] FIG. 5 shows a comparative example in which the noise filter unit 400 is not taken into consideration in the power conversion device 1 and the first resonance frequency f r1 and the current control response of the power factor correction circuit 100 are close to each other. s 5 is a diagram showing an example of an analysis waveform of the power supply current i s is shown in the upper left, and the power supply current i s is shown in the lower left.

As shown in Fig. 6, the second resonant frequency f r2 and the carrier frequency f of the power factor correction circuit 100 crr Since the values ​​are close, the power supply current i s will oscillate.

[0025] As shown in Fig. 3, the equivalent circuit of the power conversion device 1 includes a combined power supply inductance 700. The output from the converter output voltage source 300 in the equivalent circuit shown in Fig. 3 is expressed as v о The current flowing through the combined power supply inductance 700 is the power supply current is Then, the power supply current i of the composite power supply inductance 700 s The transfer function is expressed by equation (3).

[0026]

[0027] In formula (3), L 3 is the capacitance of the combined power supply inductance 700. The frequency at which the denominator of equation (3) becomes zero is the resonant frequency. Approximate, the first resonant frequency f r1 can be expressed as equation (4), and the second resonant frequency f r2 can be expressed as in equation (5).

In this way, the power conversion device 1 may be configured to include a diode bridge.

[0077] As described above, according to this embodiment, the power conversion device 1 includes the power factor correction circuit 100 and the noise filter unit 400.

The equivalent circuit of the power conversion device 1 shown in Fig. 15 is different from the equivalent circuit of the power conversion device 1 of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 3 in the configuration of the noise filter section 400.
