Abstract:
A method in a power inverter system ( 100 ) is disclosed, wherein the power inverter system comprises a central unit ( 130 ) and a plurality of switching units ( 110 ) operable in an inverter mode in which they are individually switched so as to produce a combined output voltage waveform and AC (V OUT ) transmitted in a common line ( 120 ), and operable in a communication mode in which the switching units are switched so as to produce a communication signal, the communication signal being transmitted in the common line to the central unit. The method comprises operating at least some of the switching units in the inverter mode such that they are switched in response to switching commands of a command signal produced by the central unit,and between two consecutive switching commands of the command signal, operating at least one of the switching units in the communication mode.

Claim (Index 10):
A power inverter system comprising a central unit and a plurality of switching units electrically connected in cascade configuration, wherein:\n the central unit is adapted to receive, via common line, a communication signal and to output, to the common line, a command signal comprising switching commands; and wherein each one of the plurality of switching units is: adapted to receive a respective input DC power; operable in an inverter mode in which the switching units are individually switched in response to the switching commands of the command signal so as to produce a combined output AC transmitted in the common line; operable, between two consecutive switching commands of the command signal, in a communication mode in which the switching units are switched so as to produce the communication signal, the communication signal being transmitted in the common line.
