Fig.6 shows the two levels half bridge inverter, actually
this inverter is one leg of conventional 3-phases full bridge
converters. Meanwhile Fig.1 and Fig.4 are also the one leg of
3 phases NPC converters. The difference between these half
bridge converters is that the converter shown in Fig.6 just has
two output voltage levels: VDC/2 and -VDC/2 while the NPC
half bridge converters have three levels: VDC/2, -VDC/2 and 0.
Due to this reason, compared with NPC half bridge converters,
the converter shown in Fig.6 need more output filters, also
takes more switching losses.
Its easier to find the particularities of converters by
comparing one leg (half bridge converter) working
performance. Table IV shows the difference between them.
