Abstract:
In a process of cancelling shutdown of a second converter during transmission of electric power between a first power line and a second power line with voltage conversion by a first converter in a shutdown state of the second converter, a motor vehicle performs single element switching control that switches one switching element between third and fourth switching elements of the second converter while setting the other switching element off, such as to prevent an electric current in a reverse direction to an electric current flowing in a first reactor of the first converter from flowing in a second reactor of the second converter.

Claim (Index 1):
A motor vehicle, comprising:\n a motor for driving; a power storage device; a first converter connected with a first power line which the motor is connected with, and a second power line which the power storage device is connected with, the first converter including first and second switching elements, first and second diodes and a first reactor and being configured to transmit electric power between the first power line and the second power line with voltage conversion; a second converter connected with the first power line and a third power line which the power storage device is connected with and which is different from the second power line, the second converter including third and fourth switching elements, third and fourth diodes and a second reactor and being configured to transmit electric power between the first power line and the third power line with voltage conversion; and a control device configured to perform voltage control of the first converter such that a voltage of the first power line becomes equal to a target voltage and to perform current control of the second converter such that an electric current flowing in the second reactor becomes equal to a target current, wherein in a process of cancelling shutdown of the second converter during transmission of electric power between the first power line and the second power line with the voltage conversion by the first converter in a shutdown state of the second converter, the control device performs single element switching control that switches one switching element between the third and the fourth switching elements of the second converter while setting the other switching element off, such as to prevent an electric current in a reverse direction to an electric current flowing in the first reactor from flowing in the second reactor.
