    Abstract: A harmonic suppression method and apparatus for a three-phase three-wire cascaded power conversion apparatus is disclosed. The method can include: calculating a first current output from a full-bridge rectifier module to a floating direct current side, the first current being composed of a first current direct current component and a first current double frequency component; and generating a first injection voltage with a triple frequency, so as to inject the first injection voltage into the floating direct current side and transfer at least a portion of the first current double frequency component to a low-voltage direct current side, where total current on the floating direct current side is composed of the first current and a second current after the first injection voltage is injected, the second current is composed of a second current double frequency component and a second current quadruple frequency component, and the amplitude and the phase angle of the first injection voltage are configured so that the first and second current double frequency components are at least partially canceled. The method reduces the demand for capacitance on the floating direct current side of the power conversion apparatus, resulting in a significant increase in power density and high power conversion efficiency.

    Abstract: Provided is a direct current voltage sampling circuit used for a medium-voltage power module. The medium-voltage power module includes two cascaded H-bridge circuits. The sampling circuit includes two sampling sub-circuits, with each connected to one H-bridge circuit. The sampling sub-circuit includes: a voltage dividing circuit connected in parallel to an output end of the H-bridge circuit, an isolation module connected to the voltage dividing circuit, a direct current isolated power supply which supplies power to the isolation module independently of the H-bridge circuit, and an amplifier conditioning module which converts an isolated voltage signal into a sampled voltage output. Parasitic capacitances of the isolation module and the direct current isolated power supply are both less than 2 pF, and the sampled voltage outputs of the two sampling sub-circuits are provided to a same local controller. The sampling circuit can suppress the impact of circulation components between two direct current buses in double cascaded bridges, making sampling results more accurate.
