Abstract

In a variable frequency power source unit, a series circuit of a contactless semiconductor switching element and a resistor is provided in parallel to a d.c. smoothing capacitor, and a control circuit is provided for receiving a signal for turning on the switching element selectively at any time after the power source is interrupted, thereby discharging the electric charge on the d.c. smoothing capacitor.
