Abstract

The disclosure is related to a voltage-source multi-level converter including a phase unit. The phase unit includes first and second bridge arms, each includes modules and reactor connected in series. In the first bridge arm, a first terminal of first reactor is connected to alternating-current terminal of the phrase unit, a second terminal thereof is connected to a first terminal of the first modules, and second terminal of the first modules is connected to first DC terminal of the phrase unit. In the second bridge arm, a first terminal of the second reactor is connected to the alternating-current terminal, a second terminal thereof is connected to a first terminal of the second modules, and a second terminal of the second modules is connected to second DC terminal of the phrase unit. Then, a parallel fault shunt circuit is connected between the second terminals of the first and second reactors.
