Abstract

The present invention relates to a control apparatus of a three-level inverter and intends to provide a control apparatus of simplified construction which can suppress a fluctuation in neutral point voltage effectively. Only a third harmonic component which is particularly large in the fluctuation in neutral point voltage is suppressed, a third harmonic component for suppression has a ratio of amplitude to that of a fundamental wave and a phase which are set to be constant regardless of the inverter frequency, and this third harmonic component is applied to a command of the fundamental wave.
