Abstract

A power converting apparatus includes: a boost circuit including a reactor supplied with first voltage output from an alternating-current power supply, a first leg including first upper-arm and lower-arm switching elements connected in series, and a second leg connected in parallel with the first leg and including second upper-arm and lower-arm switching elements connected in series, and boosting the first voltage; a first voltage detecting unit detecting the first voltage; a smoothing capacitor smoothing voltage output from the boost circuit; and a second voltage detecting unit detecting second voltage smoothed by the smoothing capacitor. When the second voltage is larger than the first voltage and is lower than or equal to twice the first voltage, a width of a second drive pulse to turn on the first upper-arm switching element is larger than a width of a first drive pulse to turn on the first lower-arm switching element.
