Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inverter power supply, specifically to a novel nine-level H-type inverter device. Background Technology

[0002] An inverter, as a power conversion device, primarily functions to convert DC power into AC power with a fixed frequency and voltage, or adjustable frequency and voltage. This device plays a crucial role in modern electrical applications, particularly in household appliances such as air conditioners, power tools, and refrigerators. Among various inverter types, multilevel inverters, due to their ability to operate in high-voltage environments using fewer power device ratings, have expanded their application range. With the continuous expansion of inverter applications, improving the stability of power supply performance and simplifying equipment structure have become key to industry development. While traditional H-type nine-level inverters can provide multilevel output, their complex structure leads to higher distortion rates in output voltage and current, increasing the risk of electrical equipment failure and additional energy loss. Therefore, a significant direction in current inverter technology development is to reduce or eliminate output voltage and current distortion. This not only improves energy utilization efficiency and reduces energy loss but also lowers equipment failure rates and extends equipment lifespan, thus providing users with a more stable and reliable power supply.
