Control means is provided, in which the whole of the phase difference of
a power waveform of each phase is matched to a value dividing a cycle of the power
waveform into n-equal portions, and at the same time, the whole of the power value
of each phase is controlled to be identical, so that the power conversion unit
having a n-alternating current output (n is an integer numeral serving as n2)
connected to the direct current power source and smoothing means provided between
the direct current power source and the power conversion unit are made small in capacity.
