Abstract  The new 6-switch single-phase 5-level current-source inverter proposed in this paper was developed by properly simplifying the traditional 8-switch single-phase 5-level current-source inverter, and its operational principle was analyzed. Just like the problem of voltage-unbalance between different levels existing in voltage-source multilevel inverters, a similar problem of current-unbalance between different levels whether for the 8-switch single-phase 5-level current-source inverter, or for the new 6-switch 5-level current-source inverter also exists. A simple current-balance control method via DC current feedback is presented here to implement the current-balance control between different levels. And to reduce the output current harmonics, PWM control technique was used. Simulation and experimental results showed that this new 6-switch topology operates correctly and that the balance-inductor can almost equally distribute the total DC current.
