Abstract

The present power control device includes an inverter, a step-up/down converter, a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a control device. The step-up/down converter includes an upper arm and a lower arm that are switching elements, and a reactor that has a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the first capacitor, and the second end being connected between the upper arm and the lower arm. The control device is configured to fix the lower arm in an off state and control the upper arm such that the upper arm switches at a predetermined duty ratio.
