            Abstract : 
A T-type three-level inverter topology with RB-IGBT is researched. The operation modes and modulation strategy is analyzed. The power loss of T-type inverter with RB-IGBT and normal IGBT is calculated and compared. Experimental results show that T-type inverter with RB-IGBT has better efficiency than that of normal IGBT.
