The invention relates to a four-quadrant three-level
power unit. The four-quadrant three-level
power unit is characterized in that the four-quadrant three-level
power unit comprises three-phase three-level
rectifier bridges which are respectively connected to a DC (
direct current)
bus, equalizing resistances, DC-link
capacitor modules and single-phase three-level
inverter bridges, wherein the three-phase three-level
rectifier bridges and the single-phase three-level
inverter bridges are connected back to back, each of the three-phase three-level
rectifier bridges includes three phases first bridge arms and each of the three phases first bridge arms includes four power switch tubes, antiparallel follow current power tubes and two clamping modules, and each of the center taps of the clamping modules is connected to each of the center taps of the DC-link
capacitor modules. The invention also provides a high-
voltage inverter including the four-quadrant three-level power unit. The four-quadrant three-level power unit utilizes the three-level topological structure to enable the output
voltage of the power unit to be increased substantially, so that the amount of the power units which are in overall unit series with the high-
voltage inverter can be decreased substantially and the overall unit is high in reliability and long in service life.
