Abstract

A series multiplex inverter includes a power conversion unit, a phase difference selection unit, a drive signal generation unit, and a drive signal output unit. The phase difference selection unit selects, from among a plurality of phase difference candidates, the phase difference between rectangular wave voltages from a plurality of single-phase inverters. The drive signal generation unit generates a plurality of drive signals that causes the different single-phase inverters to output a plurality of rectangular wave voltages sequentially out of phase by the phase difference selected by the phase difference selection unit. The drive signal output unit outputs the plurality of drive signals generated by the drive signal generation unit to the plurality of single-phase inverters.
