This paper gives the theory and experimental results for a current-source parallel-resonant inverter employed for induction heating. The analysis is performed in the frequency domain using Fourier series techniques to predict output power, efficiency, dc-to-ac voltage transfer function, and component voltage and current stresses. The inverter consists of four switches, a large choke inductor, a...

This paper proposes an approach to improve the cost-effectiveness of the control of variable speed drives in the robotics field. This could be achieved by the association of brushless DC motors (BLDCM)with a reduced structure DC/AC converter that is the three-switch inverter (TSI) equipping a robot arm. In a first step, we devoted the analysis, modelisation and control of a three-switch inverte...

This paper presents a cost-effective vector control strategy for four switch three phase (FSTP) inverter fed a synchronous reluctance motor with conventional rotor (SynRM) drive. The reduction of the number of power switches from six to four improves the cost-effectiveness, volume-compactness and reliability of the three phase inverters. In this paper, a simulation model of the drive system is ...

This paper presents an original study on the generated torque ripples of phase commutation in the Four-Switch, Three-Phase Inverter (FSTPI) Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive which is suitable for low cost applications. Analytic values of torque ripple and commutation duration are obtained for different operation conditions. Moreover, limitation on the speed range operation caused from splitti...

Multilevel inverter created a new evolution of newer topologies. Some of the recently proposed multilevel inverter topologies with reduce power switch count are reviewed and analysed. This paper will expose the idea of qualitative and quantitative parameter of multilevel inverter. Then this paper will share creation and an updating of various Topologies. Based on a detailed comparison of these ...

This paper presents a review and analysis of multilevel inverter topologies. Multilevel inverters are most widely used for medium-voltage high-power converter like fans, pumps and material transport drives. In this active area, different inverter topologies, circuits, advantages and drawbacks are discussed. Multilevel Inverter topologies such as diode-clamped, flyingcapacitor, cascaded H-bridge...

In order to meet the high reliability of aviation inverters, the paper established a new three-level inverter which can increase the reliability in safety-critical applications, what’s more, the new topology adding assistant leg to control neutral-point voltage independently. On the basis of the new topology, a mixed logic dynamic (MLD) model was established for the new inverter circuits, and t...
