In the present uninterruptible power supply apparatus (U1), in a power failure of a commercial AC power supply (41), a switch (1) is turned off to electrically cut off the commercial AC power supply (41) from an AC input filter (2), and when DC voltage (ΔE=Ep−En) that is the difference between terminal-to-terminal voltages (Ep, En) of first and second capacitors (C1, C2) exceeds a threshold voltage (ETH), first and second IGBT devices (Q1, Q2) or third and fourth IGBT devices (Q3, Q4) included in the converter (3) are turned on and off to reduce DC voltage (ΔE).
