Abstract

The present invention relates to a power conversion device in the power electronics field. An object of the present invention is to provide a technique of determining whether a switching element operates normally or not from a gate monitor signal of a power conversion device, and predicting a sign of a failure by obtaining the temperature of the switching element from a transient state of the switching voltage of the power conversion circuit as a component of the power conversion device without using a new signal path.
