Current controlled power converter

A current controlled power converter comprising:

• a converting part having six switching elements that constitute a three-phase bridge circuit, the converting part being configured to convert a three-phase ac voltage into a dc voltage or a dc voltage into a three-phase ac voltage;
• ac side current detection portions configured to detect an ac side current of the converting part;
• dc side current detection portions configured to detect a dc side current of the converting part;
• and
• a control section configured to control the converting part by pulse-width modulation using a spatial vector modulation method based on the ac side current detected by the ac side current detection portions and the de side current detected by the dc side current detection portions,
• the control section being further configured to correct amplitude and offset of the ac side current detected by the ac side current detection portions based on current components of the dc side current detected by the dc side current detection portions, the current components of the dc side current corresponding to current components of prescribed phases of the ac side current.
