DIRECT-CURRENT POWER SUPPLY DEVICE, MOTOR DRIVING DEVICE, AIR CONDITIONER, AND REFRIGERATOR
First Claim
1. A direct-current power supply device comprising:
- a rectifier connected to an alternating-current power supply;
a charge storage unit including a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected in series;
a switching unit including a first switching element and a second switching element connected in series and backflow preventing elements that suppress a backflow of electric charges from the charge storage unit;
a control unit that controls operations of the first switching element and the second switching element; and
a direct-current-voltage detecting unit that detects a first both-end voltage, which is a voltage across the first capacitor, and a second both-end voltage, which is a voltage across the second capacitor, whereinthe control unit detects, on the basis of a voltage difference between the first both-end voltage and the second both-end voltage, a short-circuit failure of one of the first switching element and the second switching element.

Abstract
A direct-current power supply device includes a rectifier connected to a power supply, a charge storage unit configured by a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected in series, a switching unit configured by a first switching element 4a and a second switching element connected in series and backflow preventing elements that suppress a backflow of electric charges from the charge storage unit, a reactor, a control unit that controls operations of the first switching element and the second switching element, and a direct-current-voltage detecting unit that detects a first both-end voltage, which is a voltage across the first capacitor, and a second both-end voltage, which is a voltage across the second capacitor. The control unit detects, on the basis of a voltage difference between the first both-end voltage and the second both-end voltage, a short-circuit failure of one of the first switching element and the second switching element.

3. A direct-current power supply device comprising:
-
a rectifier connected to an alternating-current power supply; a charge storage unit including a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected in series; a switching unit including a first switching element and a second switching element connected in series and backflow preventing elements that suppress a backflow of electric charges from the charge storage unit; a control unit that controls operations of the first switching element and the second switching element; and a short-circuit-current detecting unit that detects a short-circuit current flowing from the alternating-current power supply, wherein the control unit detects, before a start of a switching operation of the switching unit, on the basis of whether the short-circuit current is detected in a state in which one of the first switching element and the second switching element is turned on and the other switching element is turned off, whether a short-circuit failure of the other switching element has occurred. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
