Technical FAQs 4

What is a 3 Phase 4 leg inverter?

As shown in Figure 1.2, the three phase four leg inverter is used in the shipboard DC DPS to provide secondary AC power distribution. It can be utilized to supply utility power for combat equipment, radar and other critical electronic load. In this section, the modeling and control of a PEBB based three phase four leg inverter is described.

What is a four-leg inverter?

The proposed four-leg inverter adopts the integrated topology with thyristors and insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), which aims to reduce the number of IGBTs. In order to handle the zero sequence current, a neutral leg via incorporating IGBTs is artfully integrated with the regular phase legs.

What is a four-leg voltage source inverter (VSI)?

One of the key technologies in inverter-based distributed generation (DG) systems is the four-leg voltage source inverter (VSI) that is utilized to operate in autonomous four-wire microgrids.
