Abstract :
Proposed here is an alternate Five-level four-quadrant cascaded multilevel converter cell configuration that compared to the other cell configurations, for dc fault current limitation, will be more compact and avoid the external dc breaker. Loss comparison on cells with dc fault blocking capability for the cascaded converter is also presented.
