This paper presents a transformer less ac/dc converter which can be used in voltages between 90230 Vrms. Instead of a transformer, this topology consists of a buck dc/dc converter and a buck boost dc/dc converter. By the absence of transformer, reduce the complexity of converter and it is cost effective. Buck dc/dc converter keeps o/p voltage below the line voltage; limit the leakage current. B...

This paper proposes a generalized space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique for hybrid multilevel inverters for minimizing total harmonic distortion (THD). The proposed method easily determines the actual location of the instantaneous reference space vector and the corresponding switching sequence of a multilevel inverter. The proposed algorithm offers a novel method for minimizing ...

This paper deals with new hybrid multilevel inverter fed induction motor drive. It focuses on the different topologies to mitigate the common mode voltages, bearing currents and their effects on the drive. In proposed topology, the total harmonic distortion (THD) is reduced with more number of steps in output voltage without using pulse width modulation techniques. The main advantage of this pr...

Real-time monitoring during soil compaction can be made possible by utilizing the vibration signature of a vibratory roller compactor. The compactor and soil constitute a coupled dynamic system, albeit complex and nonlinear. As the soil density increases and its mechanical properties change, the dynamic response of the compactor will change. Developing a thorough knowledge of the relationship b...

Multilevel inverter is an effective and practical solution for increasing power demand and reducing harmonics of AC waveforms. Such inverters synthesize a desired output voltage from several levels of dc voltages as inputs. This paper analyzes the performance of cascaded five level inverter using hybrid pulse width modulation technique. It has been found that this technique reduces the switchin...

A sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) inverter feeding five different chorded three-phase induction motors were tested for low-order odd harmonic voltage component and efficiency at different loads. Total harmonic distortion (THD) due to 3rd, 5th, 9th, 11th and 13th harmonics were less in a motor with (1-7) 120 coil pitch. Particular harmonic order for each coil pitch was suppressed and th...

Abstract Cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverterhas become more attractive to generate high power in an electrical distribution system.
