Abstract:
A bidirectional chopper circuit  1  is provided with: a main power converter  11  having a first switch  21 - 1  and a second switch  21 - 2  set up so that one switch is turned off when the other switch is turned on and connected in series with each other so as to line up in a conduction direction when turned on, the terminals on both sides of the main power converter  11  on the opposite sides to the connection sides for the first switch  21 - 1  and the second switch  21 - 2  being a pair of first external connection terminals; a plurality of single-phase full-bridge power converters  22 - j  and a pair of second external connection terminals provided on wiring that branches from wiring connecting the first switch  21 - 1  and the second switch  21 - 2  so that one or both are connected in cascade; and an inductor  13  connected in series with the single-phase full-bridge power converters  22 - j  on wiring that branches from wiring connecting the first switch  21 - 1  and the second switch  21 - 2.

Claim (Index 4):
The bidirectional chopper circuit according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the first switching unit and the second switching unit comprises a semiconductor switching device that conducts in one direction when it is ON and a feedback diode connected in antiparallel with the semiconductor switching device.
