In this paper, a simple scheme compensating for the effect of de-link ripple voltages on output voltage of two-leg and three-phase PWM inverters is proposed, where single-phase half-bridge PWM converter and two-leg inverter are used. The voltage at neutral point of the dc-link is controlled so that the upper-half of de-link voltage is equal to the lower-half voltage in average concept. However, the effect of the de-link ripple voltage results in the inverter output voltage and current distortion. This effect can be eliminated by introducing a compensation voltage in switching time calculation. Also, the inverter dead time should be compensated for sinusoidal output waveform. The proposed scheme has been verified by experimental results which were obtained from the V/F constant operation of the induction motor fed by two-leg inverter.
