Abstract

This paper proposes a new pulse-width modulation (PWM) scheme named alternative vector PWM (AVM) algorithm that reduces the common-mode voltage (vCM) generated by a 3-phase current source inverter (CSI) during operation within a portion of its voltage-boost regime when the CSI's modulation index is below 1/\sqrt 3 ( = 0.5774). Three different active current vector pairs (one conventional pair with adjacent active current vectors and two proposed pairs with non-adjacent active current vectors) are used to reduce vCM based on the CSI's output voltage conditions. Experimental results confirm significant reductions in major vCM spectral components by up to approx. 85% between the 3rd harmonic of the fundamental frequency and the CSI's PWM frequency, validating the advantages of the proposed AVM algorithm over the conventional PWM.
