A New Common Mode Voltage Reduction Method in a Generalized Space Vector Modulator for Cascaded Multilevel Converters

High switching frequency employed in modern power electronic converters is cause of important common mode electrical quantities, having as consequences the premature motor failure and other unwanted effects in drive systems. A new SVM scheme for cascaded multilevel converter, aimed to the attenuation of these consequences, is proposed.
