In addition, in order to detect failures in the semiconductor elements 21 to 24 or the nonlinear resistors 51 to 54, voltage dividing resistors 61 and 62 connected in series are connected in parallel to the voltage adjustment circuit to form a bridge and adjust the voltage. The output voltage of the bridge circuit is obtained from the intermediate point of each of the circuit and the voltage dividing circuit, and this voltage is detected by the voltage detection circuit 7 to detect a failure of the semiconductor elements 21 to 24.

That is, the nonlinear resistors 51 to 54 have substantially the same value, the voltage dividing resistors 61 and 62 have substantially the same value, the snubber resistors 31 to 34 have the same value, and the snubber capacitors 41 to 44 have the same value. Therefore, if the semiconductor element and nonlinear resistance are normal,
The output voltage of the bridge circuit is almost zero, but if the semiconductor element 21 or the nonlinear resistor 51 breaks down,
When a short circuit occurs, the balance of the bridge circuit is lost, which can be detected by the voltage detection circuit 7. Note that, as a matter of course, failure detection must be performed when the semiconductor elements 21 to 24 are in the off state.

However, even if this voltage adjustment circuit is operated for a period from T 0 to T 1 as shown in Fig. 4, and all semiconductor elements are turned off at time T 1 and the operation is stopped, even if Immediately before T 1 , not all semiconductor elements are necessarily in an on state or an off state due to voltage adjustment, and the voltage distribution of each semiconductor element is different. Therefore, even if all the semiconductor elements 21 to 24 or the nonlinear resistors 51 to 54 are normal, immediately after the operation stop time T1 , the bridge circuit is equilibrium is lost,
There is a possibility that the output voltage of the bridge circuit will not become zero and it will be determined that there is a failure. Snubber capacitor 4
When discharging the charges 1 to 44, the impedance of the element connected in parallel with the snubber circuit is large and the discharge time constant becomes large.
The disadvantage is that the delay time must be several minutes or more.

Now, the voltage adjustment circuit 1 in FIG .
Let's say it works. Since the voltage is adjusted during the period from T0 to T1 , it is not known which of the semiconductor elements 21 to 24 is ON and which element is OFF, and immediately after the operation stop time T1 , each of the semiconductor elements 21 to 24 is It is thought that the polarization voltages of the semiconductor devices are different. Therefore, the one-shot circuit 15 which is triggered by the down edge outputs a pulse for a predetermined period from time T2 to time T3 immediately after time T1 to turn on all the semiconductor elements 21 to 24 of the voltage adjustment circuit 1. When the semiconductor elements 21 to 24 are turned on at time T2 , the charges in the snubber capacitors 41 to 44 are discharged through the snubber resistors 31 to 34, and the voltages shared by the snubber capacitors 41 to 44 become equal to zero in about 100 μS. . Therefore, at time T3 , semiconductor elements 21 to 2
If semiconductor elements 21 to 24 and nonlinear resistors 51 to 54 are all healthy, the bridge circuit will maintain balance and the voltage detection circuit 7 will have zero output. If there is an abnormality in the nonlinear resistors 51 to 54, the bridge circuit will be unbalanced, and the voltage detection circuit 7 will
Failures can be detected. Therefore, by taking in the output of the voltage detection circuit 7 after time T3 , it is possible to obtain a failure detection signal b without error. During the period from T 2 to T 5 , the time constant for the snubber resistor and the snubber capacitor may be used to allow sufficient time for the snubber capacitor to discharge.

By bypassing the circuit current only during this period, or by providing a high resistance between the voltage regulating circuit and the load, it is possible to avoid flowing a large current through the load during the stop period.
