 CONVERTERS (D.C. TO A.C. OR
A.C. TO D.C.)
TWO TYPES:-

1.VOLTAGE SOURCE (VOLTAGE CONTROLLED)

2. CURRENT SOURCE(CURRENT CONTROLLED)

INVERTER OPERATION
CONVERTER OPERATION
TRANSFORMER MULTIPULSE VOLTAGE
SOURCE 12 PULSE CONVERTER
TRANSFORMER COUPLED MULTIPULSE
CONVERTER
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
EASILY OBTAINABLE BULKY
NEAR SINUSOIDAL COSTLY
WAVEFORM NOT PORTABLE
48 PULSE WAVEFORM
ALSO OBTAINABLE
 NEW BREED OF POWER
CONVERTERS
DIODE-CLAMP MULTILEVEL CONVERTER

MULTILEVEL CONVERTER USING FLYING

CAPACITORS

MULTILEVEL CONVERTER USING CASCADED-

INVERTERS WITH SEPARATE D.C. SOURCES
DIODE-CLAMP MULTILEVEL
CONVERTER
DIODE-CLAMP MULTIPULSE CONVERTER
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
HIGH EFFICIENCY FOR MORE PULSES, MORE
REACTIVE POWER FLOW CLAMPING DIODES ARE
CAN BE CONTROLLED REQUIRED
COMPACT AND PORTABLE COSTLY
UNEQUAL DEVICE RATING
HIGH VOLTAGE RATING
FOR BLOCKING DIODES
MULTILEVEL CONVERTER USING
FLYING CAPACITORS
MULTIPULSE CONVERTER USING
FLYING CAPACITORS
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
HIGH EFFICIENCY FOR MORE PULSES, MORE
REAL AND REACTIVE CAPACITORS ARE
POWER FLOW CAN BE REQUIRED
CONTROLLED COSTLY
COMPACT AND PORTABLE
MULTILEVEL CONVERTER USING CASCADED-
INVERTERS WITH SEPARATE D.C. SOURCES
MULTIPULSE CONVERTER USING CASCADED-
INVERTERS WITH SEPARATE D.C. SOURCES
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
REQUIRES LEAST NUMBER NEEDS SEPARATE D.C.
OF COMPONENTS TO SOURCES FOR REAL
ACHIEVE SAME VOLTAGE POWER CONVERSIONS
LEVELS
HIGH EFFICIENCY
NO CLAMPING DIODES OR
VOLTAGE BALANCING
CAPACITORS REQUIRED
COMPACT AND PORTABLE
SWITCHING LOSSES ARE
VERY LESS

APPLICATIONS 2
CONCLUSIONS 1
MULTI LEVEL INVERTERS HAVE THE MOST
IMPACT IN ADJUSTABLE SPEED DRIVE
FOR STANDALONE SYSTEMS MAGNETIC
TRANSFORMER COUPLED CONVERTERS ARE THE
BEST FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY.
FOR BEST PORTABILITY, MULTI LEVEL
CONVERTER USING CASCADED INVERTERS WITH
SEPARATE D.C. SOURCES IS THE BEST
CONCLUSIONS 2
FOR CONTROLLING REAL AND REACTIVE
POWER, MULTILEVEL CONVERTERS USING
FLYING CAPACITORS IS THE BEST
DIODE CLAMP MULTILEVEL CONVERTERS ARE
THE BEST OPTION FOR BACK TO BACK INTERTIE
SYSTEMS
