An uninterruptible power supply unit essentially includes: a DC power supply
source
3, a parallel converter 4, and a series converter 6 that are
individually connected in parallel to both ends of an electrolytic capacitor Cdc
having a pair of capacitors C1 and C2. An input terminal Pin1
is connected to an intermediate point of the electrolytic capacitor Cdc. A power
supply line 1n interlinking an input terminal Pin1 and an
output terminal Pout2 is connected to multiple switching elements of the
parallel converter 4 via a reactor Lin. Likewise, multiple switching elements
of the series converter 6 are individually connected to an output terminal
Pout1 via another reactor Lout. Multiple capacitors C individually constituting
the above-described reactors L and filters are connected in parallel between the
input terminals and output terminals. When any abnormality is generated in the
AC input voltage, a controlling device activates operation of the parallel converter
4 so that input current Ipara flowing through the parallel converter 4
can become output current Iout, thereby generating a state equal to the case in
which the input side of the AC power supply source has been disconnected from the
power supply switch. Concurrently, the controlling device activates operation of
the series converter 6 so that the output voltage Vout can become the series-voltage
commanding value Vout*.
