Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with a four-level voltage source converter topology including two intermediate converter branches connecting two intermediate voltage levels to a load terminal, and including a interconnect switch coupling the two intermediate branches. The interconnect switch replaces two controlled switches present in corresponding four-level prior art topologies. The four-level converter thus requires, for a full bidirectional implementation, only five active switches. The reduced number of active switches/gate drivers and the four available output voltage levels make this solution interesting for lower cost power electronics with improved reliability, good power quality and minimized filtering requirement.

Claim (Index 14):
The four-level converter as claimed in  claim 3 ,\n wherein the first and second intermediate branches include solely the first controllable switch (S 2 ) and the second controllable switch (S 3 ) as controllable switches.
