Abstract:
[Technical Problem] In a power conversion device for stepping up or stepping down the input voltage, when voltage converter become out of order, it is not possible to specify an IGBT element and a current sensor, which is in an extraordinary fault condition.[Solution to Problem] The power conversion device is configured to detect a voltage value of a smoothing condenser, connected in parallel to a load, where the load is to be connected to the power conversion device; detects, by a first current sensor, a current which flows through switching elements in a plurality of voltage converter; decides an abnormality of a switching element, by switching the switching element one by one; specifies the abnormality of the switching element; and specifies that the first current sensor is in an abnormal state, in a case where there is no abnormal state switching elements.
