The invention discloses a single-phase three-level
inverter, which comprises an input
capacitor, six power switches, two
freewheel diodes and a single-phase output filter. The
inverter performs switch motion by utilizing the six power switches and the two
freewheel diodes cooperatively, so that when the output
voltage of the
inverter is a zero level, an output
alternating current (AC) side and aninput
direct current (DC) side of the inverter are positioned in a decoupling state; therefore, the output
voltage of the inverter realizes three levels, the common-mode
voltage of the inverter is a constant, and common-mode current is completely eliminated. The problem of imbalanced
capacitor voltage caused by
parasitic capacitance of a
power switching device is solved in the circuit; therefore,a working mechanism without leakage current cannot be damaged, and the control means is simple; moreover, the circuit and a dead-zone working mechanism are reliable, and the working stability of the circuit is high. Due to the adoption of a
unipolar pulse width modulation mode, the output current
ripple of the inverter is low,
copper loss and magnetic loss on a filtering
inductor are low, and thequality of the output
electric energy is high.
