In PWM inverter-fed drives, a variation of Common mode voltage (CMV) causes unbalanced voltage operation in induction motor. Multilevel inverters reduce this problem, but the complexity of the power circuit increases with an increase in the number of inverter voltage levels. In this paper, a five-level inverter is compared with two, three and four levels and this five level structure is propose...

Multilevel cascaded and hybrid inverter systems conventionally use three level bipolar PWM for each individual inverter, with their carriers phase shifted to achieve maximum harmonic cancellation within each phase leg. This has been shown to give a harmonic performance equivalent to APOD modulation of a NPC multilevel inverter, when the switching frequencies are scaled to achieve the same numbe...

Dual Two-Level Inverter is an emerging Multilevel Inverter Topology which is implemented by cascading two standard TwoLevel inverters with a six-wire open-end load in between them. Space Vector PWM Technique is implemented considering its various advantages and is selected as a good performing control strategy to control the Dual-inverter. Dual Two-Level Inverter produces space vector locations...

A scheme for a three-level voltage space phasor generation with common-mode voltage elimination is proposed. An open-end-winding induction motor, fed from both ends by two threelevel inverters, which are realised by a cascading two two-level inverter, is used in this configuration. The voltage space vectors of individual three-level inverters, which generate the same commonmode voltage in the i...
