Abstract

This paper proposes the design of 400 Hz power supply using T-type, three-level inverter topology. T-type topology is investigated for 400 Hz power supply which is generally used in aircraft application. To generate this power supply, T-type inverter is controlled by space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique. The design of output passive filter with its damping components is also given in this paper to reduce the harmonics from the output of the given system. The performance of T-type multi-level inverter is simulated with balanced three-phase resistive and inductive load of 110 kW and also with balanced three-phase resistive load of 55 kW. Various performance parameters like output voltage, output current, it’s %THD, etc., are discussed using PSIM as simulation tool. Hardware prototype of this simulated system is also implemented. This hardware design employs a high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) from Texas Instruments. At last, the simulated results are verified with the experimental results which are taken from the hardware prototype.
