Abstract

A solution for high power, high voltage converter is multi-level cascade converter. In this paper a five-level cascade converter is simulated. To reduce the switching losses a soft-switching technique named auxiliary resonant commutated pole (ARCP) is utilized. The effects of non-ideal factors are analyzed and simulated and based on the simulation results the guideline for designing is introduced.
