Abstract

A three-level photovoltaic inverter pulse width modulation method and a three-level photovoltaic inverter pulse width modulator. The method includes: when it is detected that potential safety hazards exist in a three-level photovoltaic inverter, switching the pulse width modulation mode of the three-level photovoltaic inverter into a 13-vector space vector pulse width modulation mode, to solve the fault or abnormal problems in the three-level photovoltaic inverter such as midpoint potential offset or excessively large common mode leakage current formed when the ground stray capacitance of a photovoltaic assembly is large, wherein according to the 13-vector SVPWM mode, 12 short vectors in 27 on-off state vectors of the three-level photovoltaic inverter are abandoned, and only six long vectors, six middle vectors and three zero vectors are reserved.
