F-Type Single Phase Five Level Inverter

In modern industrial and power electronics applications, high-voltage high-current integrated modular transistors (IGBTs) are increasingly being utilized. The F-type inverter, which is a modified version of the T-type has emerged as promising option. This configuration separates common point bidirectional switch, reducing voltage stress resulting in lower inverter costs losses. simplified design conduction losses, making it viable choice for medium-voltage applications compared to clamp diode NPC configuration. Detailed analysis losses efficiency been conducted, simulation experimental prototype have built validate theoretical basis. addition, rating switches three-level limiting factor, only 50% input DC each phase leg.
