Abstract

A method for suppressing a common mode impulse current for an inverter generated when an alternating current switch is switched on and a device for applying the method are provided. Before the alternating current switch is switched on for the inverter, a target value of a common mode voltage between the inverter and ground is calculated based on at least one of a voltage between an alternating current port and ground, a voltage between the inverter and ground and a voltage across the alternating current switch sampled in real time. Then, a compensation power supply arranged between a main circuit of the inverter and ground is controlled to change the common mode voltage to the target value, so that a common mode voltage difference between two ends of the alternating current switch is zero. Subsequently, the inverter is controlled to switch on the alternating current switch.
