Abstract
This paper presents a performance analysis in steady-state of a novel type Auxiliary Resonant Commutation Snubber-linked 3-level 3-phase voltage source soft switching inverter suitable and acceptable for high-power applications in comparison with other three types of 3-level 3-phase voltage source soft switching inverters. This soft switching inverter operation which can operate under a condition of Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS). The practical steady -state performances of this inverter are illustrated and evaluated on the basis of the experimental results.
