simulation and experimental results

Traditional Inverters

-four common mode levels, 0, Udc/3, 2Udc/3, Udc.

-reduce the leakage current is by suppressing the
fluctuation range of the CM voltage.
-Fluctuation in null state
 Traditional
inverter with
NPC circuit

• -Has twelve switches and six diodes.

• -Costs lots more than the traditional two level inverter.
• -The conducting losses of the NPC inverter is higher
than the two level inverter.
The proposed topology

- Additional freewheeling circuit.

- The null states of the traditional inverter
are improved.
- The leakage current will be significantly
attenuated.
The Needs fewer switches than other Less switch, less device cost.

Less switch, less conduction loss.
Simulation results
• Simulated in Matlab/Simulink

• DC voltage is 400V, grid voltage

is 110V/50Hz, inverter
frequency is 10kHz.
• Inductors are all 2mH, stray
capacitance is 470nF.
