Claim:
1. A power converter comprising: a transformer having a primary-side coil and a secondary-side coil; a primary-side full-bridge circuit including a bridge section that has: the primary-side coil; and a magnetically-coupled reactor that is configured by magnetically coupling two reactors connected to both ends of the primary-side coil; a first port connected to a positive electrode bus bar of the primary-side full-bridge circuit; a second port connected to a tap of the primary-side coil; a secondary-side full-bridge circuit including a bridge section having the secondary-side coil; a third port connected to a positive electrode bus bar of the secondary-side full-bridge circuit; a first search coil wound around a core of the magnetically-coupled reactor; a second search coil wound around a core of the transformer; and a detection circuit detecting a voltage of the first port and a voltage of the third port by measuring a variation in a sense voltage that is generated by combining a voltage of the first search coil and a voltage of the second search coil among the voltage of the first search coil, the voltage of the second search coil, and the voltage of the first port.
