The invention discloses a 
transformer-free type low-leakage-current photovoltaic grid-connected 
inverter circuit with an 
active clamp and a modulation method thereof. The 
transformer-free type low-leakage-current photovoltaic grid-connected 
inverter circuit with the 
active clamp comprises two filter capacitors Cdc1, Cdc2, eight switch tubes S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8 and two filter inductors L1, L2, and is characterized in that an 
active switch tube is additionally arranged in the circuit so as to form a clamping unit, common-mode 
voltage in a grid-connected 
inductance follow current stage is clamped to the midpoint of a 
bus capacitor by being matched with an appropriate switching sequence, common-mode 
voltage disturbance of the 
system is removed, and thus a suspension problem of common-mode 
voltage of a decoupling 
inverter in zero level output is solved; and 
parasitic oscillation of a common-mode circuit is removed at the same time, and a phenomenon of common-mode 
resonance is suppressed. The photovoltaic grid-connected inverter circuit disclosed by the invention has the advantages of 
simple circuit structure, high efficiency, simple modulation method and the like. The photovoltaic grid-connected inverter circuit can ensure an inverter not to be affected by a current 
zero crossing point in unit 
power factor running, and can avoid current 
waveform distortion caused by influences of grid power fluctuations or operations at a non unit 
power factor.
