Abstract

This paper presents development of a carrier-based PWM for three-level inverters. In this paper, the theory of a carrier-based PWM of two-level inverters, as viewpoint of the reference voltages which are the command output voltages and the addition of zero voltage, is considered for three-level inverters. Moreover, the modulation pattern of three-level inverters is also shown that zero voltage had been applying in the same way of the space-vector modulation of two-level inverters. The research results reveal that the developed PWM can be shown the behavior of voltage conversion and straightforward to the relationship between command output voltages and reference voltages.
