Dead-Time Impact on the Harmonic Distortion and Conversion Efficiency in a Three-Phase Five-Level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter: Mathematical Formulation and Experimental Analysis

To avoid leg short-circuit in inverters, dead time must be introduced on leg gate signals. Dead time affects the inverter output voltage fundamental harmonic amplitude, voltage harmonic distortion and inverter efficiency by introducing additional voltage drops. In this regard, dead time effects have...
