ABSTRACT The conventional diode clamping inverter suffers from such problems as dc link unbalance, indirect clamping of the inner devices, turn-on snubbing of the inner d rails as well as series association of the clamping diodes etc. It is due largely to these problems that the appli ation of the conventional diode clamping inverter in practice has been deterred, in spite of the growing discussion in the literature. Neutral point clamped multi-level inverter (NPCMLI) has a wide application prospect in high-voltage and adjustable speed drive systems due to its low stress on switching devices, low harmonic output, and simple structure.
