Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces seven-level Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter and work principle. Then, the strongpoint and disadvantage of multi-level inverter usual PWM technologies are analyzed and compared. We find that multi-level cascaded inverter based on three harmonic injection method have two advantages via analysis. The voltage modulation index can increase 1.15. The equivalent switching frequency of H-bridge inverter’s load voltage is N times of each cell switching frequency. At last, H-bridge inverter was investigated with simulation and experiment. The results prove that the analysis is correctness and validity.
