In this paper, the effect of common-mode voltage generated in the three-level quasi-switched boost T-type inverter is minimized by applying the proposed space-vector modulation technique, which uses only medium vectors and zero vector to synthesize the reference vector. The switching sequence is selected smoothly for inserting the shoot-through state for the inverter branch. The shoot-through vector is added within the zero vector in order to not affect the active vectors as well as the output voltage. In addition, the shoot-through control signal of active switches of the impedance network is generated to ensure that its phase is shifted 90 degrees compared to shoot through the signal of the inverter leg, which provides an improvement in reducing the inductor current ripple and enhancing the voltage gain. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through simulation and experimental results. In addition, the superiority of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by comparing it to the conventional pulse-width modulation technique.

Aiming at the problem of large magnitude and high frequency of common-mode voltage (CMV) when space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is used in a three-phase motor fed by a two-level voltage source inverter, a common-mode reduction SVPWM (CMRSVPWM) is studied. In this method, six new sectors are obtained by rotating six sectors of conventional SVPWM by 30°. In odd-numbered sectors, only three non-zero vectors with odd subscripts are used for synthesis, while in even-numbered sectors, only three non-zero vectors with even subscripts are used for synthesis. The actuation durations of three non-zero vectors in each switching period in each sector are given. Simulation and experimental results show that, compared with the conventional SVPWM, the CMV magnitude of CMRSVPWM is reduced by 66.67% and the CMV frequency of CMRSVPWM is reduced from the original switching frequency to the triple fundamental frequency. At the same time, the current, torque and speed of the motor are still good.

The common-mode voltage (CMV) generated by the switching operation of the pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter leads to bearing failure and electromagnetic interference (EMI) noises. To reduce the CMV, it is necessary to reduce the magnitude of dv/dt and change the frequency of the CMV. In this paper, the range of the CMV is reduced by using opposite triangle carrier for ABC and XYZ winding group, and the change in frequency in the CMV is reduced by equalizing the dwell time of the zero voltage vector on ABC and XYZ winding group of dual three phase motor.

Purpose This paper aims to present a modified space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique for six-phase induction motor drive based on common-mode voltage (CMV) and current losses which are two important issues affecting drive system behavior and quality. Design/methodology/approach It is shown that the presence of z-component currents and the presence of CMV in six-phase drive system are two major limiting factors in space vector selection. The behavior of several space vector selections in a two-level inverter considering minimum CMV and z-components is investigated. Then, the space vectors in a three-level inverter is analyzed and tried to explore an SVM technique with better behavior. Findings The analyses show that all the problems cannot be solved in a six-phase drive system with two-level inverter despite having 64 space vectors; this study tried to overcome the limitations by exploring space vectors in a three-level inverter. Originality/value The proposed pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy leads to minimum current distortion and undesired current components with zero CMV and modest torque ripple.
