Abstract

A method for controlling a power conversion device can prevent over temperature by suppressing a change in impedance of a capacitor included in a rectifier circuit. The power conversion device includes an AC wave generation circuit for generating an AC wave, and a rectifier circuit for rectifying the AC wave generated by the AC wave generation circuit with a configuration including a rectifier capacitor and a diode connected in parallel. The method for controlling the power conversion device regulates the AC wave input to the rectifier capacitor depending on a change in impedance of the rectifier capacitor so as to suppress the change in the impedance of the rectifier capacitor.
