Abstract

The present invention discloses a control method, device, and apparatus based on a bridge circuit with series switches. Considering that when an auxiliary switch tube of an active voltage clamping circuit is turned on and a clamping capacitor is connected to a target bridge arm, the bridge arm voltage is equal to the sum of the voltage values ​​of the connected clamping capacitors, the present application controls the connection of the clamping capacitors within a dead time before the target bridge arm is turned on. Since the clamping capacitors discharge externally after connection, the greater the voltage of the clamping capacitors, the longer the time they are controlled to be connected to the target bridge arm. First, the voltage balance of each clamping capacitor is ensured. In addition, precisely because the clamping capacitors are connected for different lengths of time, the bridge arm voltage of the target bridge arm decreases in a step-like manner and drops to zero after the dead time ends, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference, reducing the requirements and volume of subsequent filter circuits, and facilitating stable and reliable operation of the circuit.
