Abstract

An inverter, a method and a device for controlling the inverter are provided, to improve efficiency of the inverter. The inverter includes a three-level active clamped topology including a first and second bus capacitors and an inverter circuit, the inverter circuit includes a first switch transistor to a sixth switch transistor. The inverter further includes a seventh switch transistor and an eighth switch transistor; the seventh switch transistor and the eighth switch transistor are connected in series between the positive direct current bus and the negative direct current bus in a same direction, and a serial point of the seventh switch transistor and the eighth switch transistor is connected to a serial point of the second switch transistor and the third switch transistor; and the seventh switch transistor and the eighth switch transistor are anti-parallel connected to corresponding diodes respectively.
