As shown in (a), the voltage VC1 across the capacitance element C1 drops sharply. On the other hand, the capacitance element C
The voltage VC2 between 2 and Cn is, as shown in FIG.
Slowly falls. When VC1 = VC2 at time t2, electric charges move from the capacitance elements C2 to Cn to the capacitance element C1 after time t2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2A, the voltage VC1 across the capacitance element C1 is equal to the voltage V1 across the capacitance elements C2 to Cn.
The inverter circuit 4 decreases slowly like C2, and the voltage V across the capacitance elements C2 to Cn increases.
Drive with C2. When the AC power supply AC is restored at time t3, the capacitance elements C1 to Cn are charged again, so that the voltage VC1 across the capacitance element C1 and the voltage VC2 across the capacitance elements C2 to Cn rise.
