ABSTRACT:
In an electric power converting apparatus comprising a plurality of branches each including a plurality of serially connected semiconductor switching elements, a non-linear resistor is connected in parallel with each semiconductor switching element, and a voltage division element including serially connected capacitor and a resistor is connected in parallel with each semiconductor switching element. A reactor is connected in series with each one of the branches and an arrestor is connected in parallel with a serially connected reactor and an associated branch.
