Abstract

This application discloses an inverter circuit for an inverter such as a photovoltaic inverter. Also disclosed are inverters and photovoltaic power systems including such inverter circuits. The inverter circuit is based on a HERIC topology, and in the inverter circuit a third capacitor and a fourth capacitor are bridge-connected between a bus and a first longitudinal bridge and between the bus and a second longitudinal bridge respectively. In this way, when the inverter circuit goes from a starting phase to a freewheeling phase, the third capacitor and the fourth capacitor can stabilize a voltage fluctuation caused by different turn-off speeds of the switching transistors in the HERIC topology, to prevent resonance caused by the voltage fluctuations.
