Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 3-Level Topology
3-Level topology has two main advantages over conventional 2-Level topology, namely higher efficiency and reduction in
filtering effort. 2-Level topology requires a large output filter and regenerates energy back to the DC bulk capacitor during
freewheeling. The regenerated energy has to pass the inverter twice and will cause additional power dissipation.

Excitation
Freewheeling
In a 3-Level topology, the excitation works the same as the 2-Level, but during freewheeling, the H-bridge is turned off and
the filter's primary output is shorted. The switch voltage is reduced and the switching losses and the size of the output filter
are minimized.

This reference design will discuss the evaluation board of Vincotech H6.5 3-Level IGBT module for 3-Level topology.
