Abstract

A new current controlled PWM technique for a 3-level inverter has been proposed and described in the paper. The proposed current control has the simple structure without needing to-calculate the switching angles of the voltage vectors. The output in the proposed inverter contains less harmonic content than that of a conventional current controlled PWM controller since the current control can be applied to the 3-level inverter. In addition, the proposed current controlled PWM technique has lower switching frequency than that of a conventional current controlled PWM technique at the same current limit. The control method and the performance for a proposed 3-level inverter has been discussed and investigated by the computer simulation
