ABSTRACT:
An inverter device has a full-wave rectifier providing a pulsating DC voltage from an input AC voltage, a smoothing circuit. The smoothing circuit includes a choke coil, a smoothing capacitor and a switching element chopping the pulsating DC voltage through the choke coil into a smoothed DC voltage at the smoothing capacitor. An inverter is included to have the element common to the smoothing circuit and operating to switch the smoothed DC voltage to apply a resulting voltage to a load circuit including a load, inductance and capacitor. The inductance and capacitor define an oscillation circuit providing to the load an oscillating current composed of first and second currents of opposite directions. The oscillating current alternating to flow for a nominal on-time duration determined by a circuit constant of the oscillation circuit itself. A controller is included to detect the termination of the second current and excites the common switching element at a timing dependent upon the termination of the second current so as to start flowing the first current. The controller includes a timer for separately controlling an actual on-time duration for flowing the first current within the nominal on-time duration, whereby enabling to regulate the accumulated DC voltage in the smoothing capacitor at a desired level by controlling to vary the actual on-time duration of the common switching element.
