Abstract
Abstract In a voltage-source PWM step-up converter connected to an a.c. power supply through a reactor, even in the case where a reactor voltage drop V L changes in dependence upon a load current, it is required to compensate such a change to control a d.c. voltage so that it is equal to a predetermined value. Since this reactor voltage drop V L has a phase shift of substantially 90 degrees with respect to an a.c. power supply voltage, a control signal for compensating such a phase shift, resulting in the possibility that is exceeds above a linear control range of the control circuit to reach the saturation range. In view of this, in accordance with this invention, control signal means for compensating a reactor voltage drop V L is provided in the control circuit, thereby making it possible to perform a stable control to provide a stable d.c. output.
