Abstract
When switching control signals of self-excited semiconductor devices from OFF-control to ON-control, a control circuit controls the self-excited semiconductor device to be ON after a lapse of a turn-ON time from when a control voltage is applied to the self-excited semiconductor device. When switching the control signals of the self-excited semiconductor devices from ON-control to OFF-control, the control circuit controls the control signal of the self-excited semiconductor device to be OFF after a lapse of a turn-OFF time from when the control voltage is applied to the self-excited semiconductor device.
