• Subjects: APPARATUS FOR CONVERSION BETWEEN AC AND AC, BETWEEN AC AND DC,OR BETWEEN DC AND DC, AND FOR USE WITH MAINS OR SIMILAR POWERSUPPLY SYSTEMS; CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS OR SYSTEMS FOR SUPPLYING OR DISTRIBUTINGELECTRIC POWER; CONTROL OR REGULATION THEREOF; CONVERSION OF DC OR AC INPUT POWER INTO SURGE OUTPUTPOWER; CONVERSION OR DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC POWER; ELECTRICITY; GENERATION; SYSTEMS FOR STORING ELECTRIC ENERGY

A charger is configured such that when an output power value of a DC/DC converter is smaller than a first power value, a switch of the DC/DC converter and a first switch of a power pulsation absorbing circuit are controlled according to a discontinuous current mode during one entire period of an AC voltage inputted from a AC power supply; and wherein when the output power value of the DC/DC converter is equal to or greater than a second power value, the switch of the DC/DC converter and the first switch of the power pulsation absorbing circuit are controlled according to a continuous current mode during one entire period of the AC voltage.
