Inverter apparatus having power supply circuit
An inverter apparatus having a power supply circuit includes a converter circuit for rectifying AC power into DC power, a smoothening circuit for smoothening the rectified DC power, an inverter circuit for converting the smoothened DC into AC at a variable frequency through a plurality of switches to control a load, and a current detection circuit for detecting overcurrent from the smoothened DC supplied from the inverter circuit, wherein the inverter circuit applies bootstrap power for driving the switches to the current detection circuit to use the bootstrap power as power of the current detection circuit. When bootstrap power for driving switch gates is used, it is possible to use the bootstrap power as the power of the current detection circuit by adding the auxiliary circuit composed of a small number of passive elements.
