A soft-switching inverter topology (the Class Φ) is presented which draws dc source current through a transmission line or a lumped-network approximation of a distributed line. By aligning the inverter switching frequency just below the line’s λ/4-wave resonance, the Class Φ topology enforces oddand even-harmonic content in its drain voltage and input current, respectively. The symmetrizing act...

This paper focuses on developing a low cost and a low harmonic traditional three level inverter (H-Bridge) using pulse pattern. Multilevel inverter as compared to traditional three level inverters have advantages like low harmonic contents and low electromagnetic interference (EMI) outputs and can operate on several voltage levels.

A single phase cascaded inverter consisting of two full bridges creates a five level AC output voltage. Due to switch combination redundancies, there are certain degrees of freedom to generate the five level AC output voltage. A single phase Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Multil Level Inverter (MLI) produces AC output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. The purpose of voltage controller f...

Absrracl--A dual two-level inverter fed open-end winding induction motor drive is proposed in this paper. A total of 64 voltage space phasor combinations are possible in this scheme as each inverter produces eight voltage space phasors. The proposed scheme produces voltage space phasor locations similar to that of a 3-level inverter. In a 3-level Inverter the series connected DC link capacitors...

This technical report presents the design of a Z-source inverter for an electric bike controller. The objective of this work is to evaluate the potential of using this non-standard inverter topology for a medium power (250W 3kW) motor drive application. The Z-source inverter is able to use the shoot-through state to boost the dc bus voltage, which enables a permanent magnet motor to achieve a h...

This paper combines quasi-Z-source into a typical five-level inverter, which includes two dc voltage sources, two quasi-Z-sources and five switching devices. In this structure, the output voltage amplitude is not limited to dc voltage source and it can be increased by quasi-Z-source. Besides, due to nature of Z-source families, this new structure is reliable and higher efficiency. Also, in this...

Electrified vehicles on the market today all use the classical two-level inverter as the propulsion inverter. This thesis analyse the potential of using a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter as the propulsion inverter. With a multilevel inverter, the battery is divided into several parts and the inverter can now create voltages in smaller voltage levels than the two-level inverter. This, amon...
