On the other hand, since the switching circuit apparatus 1 of FIG. 1 is provided with the resistor R1, the Zener diode ZD1, and the diode D3, a current flows from the terminal P1 to the capacitor C1 via the resistor R1 and the diode D1 when the switching elements Q1 and Q2 are turned off. Specifically, when the switching elements Q1 and Q2 are turned off, currents flow through the capacitors C1 and C2 along the following paths.
-
- (a) Positive electrode of DC voltage source E1→resistor R5→diode D1→capacitor C1→resistor R2→diode D4→capacitor C2→negative electrode of DC voltage source E1
- (b) Positive electrode of DC voltage source E1→diode D2→capacitor C2→negative electrode of DC voltage source E1
- (c) Terminal P1→resistor R1→diode D3→capacitor C1→resistor R2→diode D4→capacitor C2→terminal P2
When the switching elements Q1 and Q2 are turned on, currents flow through the capacitors C1 and C2 along the following paths.
