The invention relates to a low frequency ring current suppression method of a modularized multilevel converter under carrier stacked pulse width modulation. According to the low frequency ring currentsuppression method, on the premise that the output voltage level of a phase bridge arm is strictly equal to the level of a target waveform, a pulse distribution mode of a fixed route of an original state machine is improved reasonably, an appropriate redundant state is used adequately at a level moment affecting a ring current, changes of the ring current are always limited within the reasonablerange, the magnitude of low frequency ring current caused by capacitor voltage fluctuation of unit modules is suppressed effectively, and switch current stress of the unit modules is lowered. Meanwhile, according to the low frequency ring current suppression method, on the premise of not generating narrow pulses, uniformity and minimality of switching motions of the unit modules are maintained tothe maximum extent, and balance of capacitor voltage of the unit modules is not affected. In addition, according to the low frequency ring current suppression method, limiting frequency bands are appropriate to make sure that loss increasing of the unit modules is not caused by the frequent switching motions of the unit modules.
