Abstract

The uninterruptible power supply device includes a switch (2) that includes first to Nth IGBT units (U1 to UN) connected in series, and a controller that turns on the switch by turning on the first to Nth IGBT units, and turns off the switch by firstly turning off the first to nth IGBT units and then turning off the (n+1)th to Nth IGBT units. Compared with the case where the first to Nth IGBT units are turned off at the same time, it is possible to reduce a surge voltage generated between the terminals of the switch (2).
