Abstract

The device includes a rectifier circuit that converts alternating-current power from an alternating-current power supply into direct-current power; a short-circuit unit that short-circuits the alternating-current power supply via a reactor connected between the alternating-current power supply and the rectifier circuit; and a control unit that controls an ON/OFF operation of the short-circuit unit during a half cycle of the alternating-current power supply. The control unit includes a driving-signal generating unit that generates a driving signal Sa that is a switching pulse to control the ON/OFF operation of the short-circuit unit; and a pulse dividing unit that divides the driving signal Sa into a plurality of switching pulses.
