A control device is a control device of a power conversion device, and includes a conversion value calculation unit that acquires a current value of a current flowing in an alternating-current capacitor connected to a capacitor circuit in an output circuit on an alternating-current side of an inverter circuit and performs conversion of the current value to obtain a predetermined conversion value, and a failure detection unit that compares the conversion value obtained by the conversion value calculation unit and a predetermined determination value to be used in failure detection to detect a failure of the alternating-current capacitor.

A packaged power module includes a case, and a metal structure that has first and second surfaces. A transistor is also included that has first and second terminals between which current is transmitted when the transistor is activated, and a control terminal controlling the transistor, wherein the first terminal is sintered to the first surface.

A DC to AC converter includes an input configured to receive a DC input voltage, an output and two serially connected capacitors connected across the output. The two serially connected capacitors including a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected together at a connection node. The converter also includes a first parallel converter connected between the input and the connection node and a second parallel converter connected between the input and the connection and in parallel with the first parallel converter. The converter also includes a controller that selectively connects the first and second parallel converters to the input based on a first duty cycle (D1) and second duty cycle (D2), respectively. The controller determines D1 based on comparing a desired alternating current signal across the second first to a measured alternating current signal across the first capacitor such that D1 varies over time.

A multi-switch types hybrid power electronics build block (MST HPEBB) least replaceable unit converter employs a first low voltage side (for example, 1000 volt power switches) and a second high voltage side (for example, 3000 volt power switches). The MST HPEBB LRU employs multiple bridge converters connected in series and/or in parallel, and coupled in part by a 1:1 transformer. To reduce weight and volume requirements compared to known PEBB LRUs, different power switch types are employed in different bridge converters. For example, in one exemplary embodiment, low voltage 1.7 kVolt SiC MOSFETS may be employed on the lower voltage side, while at least some 4.5 kVolt Silicon IGBTs may be employed on the high voltage side.
