Patent ID: 8259468

Claim:
A three-phase inverter for converting DC power from a generator into three-phase AC power, the three-phase inverter comprising: a transformer for transforming two single phase alternating voltages with a fixed phase offset present at corresponding two primary windings of the transformer into a three-phase alternating voltage present at secondary windings of the transformer; and an inverter circuitry for receiving a direct voltage of the generator between two input lines and for supplying the two single phase alternating voltages to the two primary windings of the transformer, the inverter circuitry comprising: a split DC link having a center point connected to both input lines via corresponding capacitors and connected to a first terminal of each primary winding of the transformer, and two inverter half-bridges connected to both input lines, wherein a center point of each half bridge is connected to a second terminal of a corresponding one of the primary windings of the transformer.
