  • Abstract
    A technique for parallel connection of transistors by using current-sharing reactors for the pulse-width-modulated (PWM) transistor inverter is reported. The technique not only increases current capacity, but also decreases the output harmonic contents. The output voltage waveforms of the proposed inverter have certain voltage levels during their half cycles, and thus it is anticipated that it will be difficult to analyze the output harmonics. For such waveforms, a frequency analysis approach is described, and its results are verified by experiments
