Abstract
The present invention provides an optically controlled power converting apparatus using light trigger/light quench electrostatic induction thyristors, as switching elements, which can execute the switching operations at a high speed being when they are supplied with light trigger pulses and light quench pulses. By supplying the light trigger pulses and light quench pulses at the timings corresponding to the pulse width modulation, the light trigger/light quench electrostatic induction thyristors can perform predetermined power converting operations.
