Abstract

An invertor having a plurality of invertor bridges which operate in parallel and whose output voltages are summed. The invertor bridges are driven with pulse duration modulation according to an auxiliary control voltage. The auxiliary control voltages of the individual invertor bridges have a constant phase difference between one another. The output voltages of the bridges are summed by a center tap which is grounded by a ground connection. Effective suppression of the common-mode current distortion is achieved by having the switch arranged in the ground connection.
