Özet
The usage of multi-level inverters in converting direct current to alternating current is one of the most demanded and used methods. While creating multi-level voltage with inverters, the operating times of the switches that constitute the first step of the alternating voltage determine the gap of the step at the zero-crossing point. This situation can be preferred to create an extra level. Therefore, this article examines the effect of variation in operating times and frequencies of first-step PWMs on this zero-crossing point. First, the inverter structure providing load voltage is given in the study. Then, the transition of PWM run times is tried for different first-level voltages on the loads. The results obtained show the operation times of PWM at the transition point are quite effective on the load currents and voltages.
