Abstract

A power conversion device includes a power-supply shunt resistance that is provided between an inverter and the negative-voltage side of a DC power supply, and respective-phase lower-arm shunt resistances that are provided between the power-supply shunt resistance and respective-phase lower-arm switching elements. Respective-phase lower-arm voltages, that are respective voltages between the negative-voltage side of the DC power supply and connection points between the respective-phase lower-arm switching elements and the respective-phase lower-arm shunt resistances, are detected to calculate respective-phase currents that flow through a load device in accordance with detection values of the respective-phase lower-arm voltages, and to control a carrier frequency of a carrier signal, which serves as a reference frequency of each drive signal, according to a change in a specific control parameter A.
