Abstract

A power converting apparatus includes: a bridge circuit that includes at least two legs each including switching elements connected in series, and converts an alternating-current voltage output from an alternating-current power supply into a direct-current voltage; a power-supply current detecting unit that detects a current from the alternating-current power supply; a zero crossing detecting unit that detects a voltage polarity of the alternating-current power supply; and a control unit that controls ON and OFF of the switching elements depending on outputs of the power-supply current detecting unit and the zero crossing detecting unit, in which a dead time that is set for switching and includes a change in the voltage polarity of the alternating-current power supply is longer than a dead time that is set for switching and does not include a change in the polarity.
