Abstract

An apparatus for a three-level DC/AC converter, in which the width of output pulse having the same polarity as the fundamental wave of the converter output phase voltage is adjusted depending upon the DC component of a differential voltage between two DC voltages in a dipolar modulation system of the converter. Whereby, the imbalance of DC components between the two DC voltages is easily and effectively suppressed.
