Abstract:
A multilevel converter includes single phase configurations. A single phase configuration has a first half-bridge (HB) module, a second HB module separated by a first capacitor coupled to a DC link, and a neutral point clamped (NPC) module clamped to the first HB module and the second HB module. Further, the single phase configuration has a first individual switching device and a second individual switching device, the first individual switching device operably connected to the first HB module and the NPC module, and the second individual switching device operably connected to the second HB module and the NPC module. The converter further includes a power output assembly comprising multiple phases and providing multiple-phase alternating (AC) power, wherein the single phase configuration supplies power to one of the multiple phases of the power output assembly.

Claim (Index 27):
The multilevel converter of  claim 21 , comprising a single phase configuration for each phase, wherein the DC link and the first, second, and third capacitors are common to all single phase configurations.
