Multilevel Topologies-Prototype: Description and Modeling

Main Article Content

Paisan Boonchiam

Abstract

Multilevel Topologies are studied in this paper. These static converter can generate three or more levels in each output phase, and are generally applied to high-power applications because of their ability to operate with larger voltages than the classical two-level converter. The analysis is mainly focused on the three level topology, although there are also some contributions for converters with a larger number of levels. The main objectives are to show the prototype and modeling of multilevel converter.
