Abstract

In this paper, a multilevel inverter system for open-end winding induction motor drive is described. Multilevel inversion is achieved by feeding an open-end winding induction motor with two two-level inverters in cascade (equivalent a three-level inverter) from one end and a single two- inverter from the other end of the motor. The combined inverter system with open-end winding induction motor produces voltage space-vector locations identical to a six-level inverter. A 512 space-vector combinations are available in the proposed scheme, distributed over 91 space-vector locations. The proposed inverter drive scheme is capable of producing a multilevel pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) waveform for the phase voltage ranging from a two-level waveform to a six-level waveform depending on the modulation range. A space-vector PWM scheme for the proposed drive is implemented using a 1.5-kW induction motor with open-end winding structure.
