Ground leakage current suppression in a 50 kW 5-level T-type transformerless PV inverter

In this paper ground leakage current suppression in a 50 kW 5-level T-type transformerless PV inverter has been presented. Compared to a 3-level T-type PV inverter, this topology allows a simple modulation method such as carrier-based (CB) PWM can be used to suppress the leakage current without the penalty of the traditional methods. Phase disposition (PD) and phase opposition disposition (POD) based CB PWM method has been applied to this 5-level topology. The spectrum analysis has demonstrated that PD and POD will generate the same phase voltage spectrum. In addition, the common-mode (CM) voltage of a 5-level T-type PV inverter has been derived and the CM choke has been designed. The value of the CM choke is a 73% reduction compared to that of a 3-level T-type PV inverter. The simulation and experimental verification have been provided.
