Abstract
A power converter includes first and second switching circuits 12 and 16, a primary winding T1 having both ends connected to the first switching circuit 12, a secondary winding T2 having both ends connected to the second switching circuit 16 and magnetically coupled with the secondary winding T2, and a reactor L having a first end connected to a center tap m of the primary winding T1. The first switching circuit 12 includes a full bridge having half bridges U and V connected in parallel, and diodes D1 and D2 each having one end connected to a common point. The diodes D1 and D2 each have the other end connected to one of two parallel connecting points of the full bridge. Input alternating-current voltage Vin is applied between a second end of the reactor L and the connecting point of the diodes D1 and D2.
