Multilevel inverters are increasingly being used due to their superior performance compared to two-level inverters. Different circuit topologies on multilevel inverters have been extensively researched. Conduction and switching losses of IGBT in multilevel inverter is the key factor which could influence the converter reliability and efficiency. In this paper, thermal evaluation is described for four...
Four-level inversion is realised by connecting two two-level inverters, fed from both ends of open-end winding induction motor with Asymmetrical DC link voltages in the ratio of 2:1. This inverter scheme produces 64 space-vector combinations distributed over 37 space-vector locations. All the switching combinations are not helpful to achieve four level inversion, some of the combinations overcharge...
Three-level voltage space vector can be synthesized using a dual two-level inverter scheme employing open-end winding induction motor drive. Owing to the advantages this configuration offers over the other popular three-level inverter configurations, many PWM control strategies have been proposed. Towards this end, alternate sub-hexagonal center PWM switching scheme was presented recently that employs...
This paper presents an alternative space vector modulation (SVM) implemented in matrix converters (MC) which improves and reduces the common mode (CM) voltage and current output waveforms. The strategy is based on replacing the MC zero vectors for the rotating ones, which reduces the CM voltage derivative and therefore the leakage CM current. By reducing this CM current, which might flow inside the...
Switching common-mode voltages generated by conventional pulse-width modulated inverters are known to cause bearing currents in ac machines. These undesirable currents may result in bearing damage. A direct-link drive for open-end winding ac machines has recently been proposed. Some advantages of the drive include: 1) common-mode voltage suppression, 2) no storage elements, and 3) ability to achieve...
