Abstract:
A grid-connected inverter includes first and second power conversion circuits, a contactor and a control circuit. The first conversion circuit converts a first DC voltage to a second DC voltage. The second conversion circuit converts the second DC voltage to an AC voltage. The contactor connects an output side of the second conversion circuit to a power system. The control circuit includes a decision circuit and controls start and stop operations of the conversion circuits, and opening and closing of the contactor. The decision circuit decides whether a condition of the contactor is abnormal by detecting, after the control circuit controls the contactor to be open, whether or not a value of the second DC voltage is less than a threshold value, and if the value of the second DC voltage is detected to be not less than the threshold value, decides that the condition of the contactor is abnormal.
