Abstract:
The DC/DC converter is provided with a failure detector that detects a failure in at least one of a first output-side voltage sensor, a second output-side voltage sensor, and an input-side voltage sensor, based on the respective detection values of the input-side voltage sensor, the first output-side voltage sensor, the second output-side voltage sensor, and a DC power source voltage sensor.

Claim (Index 1):
A DC/DC converter comprising:\n a DC/DC converter main body that performs voltage conversion operation for converting a DC input-side voltage into a DC output-side voltage having a different value; and a control apparatus that controls the voltage conversion operation by the DC/DC converter main body, wherein the DC/DC converter main body includes\n an input terminal with which a DC power source is connected, \n a reactor having one end connected with the input terminal, \n a switching circuit in which a first switching device and a second switching device are provided and in which an other end of the reactor is connected with a connection portion between the first switching device and the second switching device, \n an energy accumulator to accumulate energy of the reactor, generated through switching operation by the first switching device, via the second switching device, \n an output terminal from which a voltage of the energy accumulator is outputted as the DC output-side voltage, \n an input-side voltage sensor that detects the DC input-side voltage; \n a first output-side voltage sensor that detects the DC output-side voltage; \n a second output-side voltage sensor that detects the DC output-side voltage, and \n a DC power source voltage sensor that detects a voltage of the DC power source, \n wherein based on a command value from the outside the DC/DC converter, a detection value of the input-side voltage sensor, and at least one of a detection value of the first output-side voltage sensor and a detection value of the second output-side voltage sensor, the control apparatus controls switching of the first switching device and the second switching device, thereby controlling the voltage conversion operation, wherein the control apparatus further has a failure detector to detect a failure in at least one of the input-side voltage sensor, the first output-side voltage sensor, and the second output-side voltage sensor, and wherein the failure detector performs a determination on the failure, based on the detection value of the input-side voltage sensor, the detection value of the first output-side voltage sensor, the detection value of the second output-side voltage sensor, and a detection value of the DC power source voltage sensor.
