Abstract: A method for controlling shutdown wave blocking of a multilevel inverter circuit and an application apparatus for applying the method are provided. After a shutdown command is issued, the multilevel inverter circuit is controlled to switch between a free state and a specific turn-on state. The free state is a state in which all switch tubes in the multilevel inverter circuit are turned off. The specific turn-on state is a state in which voltage stress withstood by a switch tube, on which clamping protection is not performed, in the multilevel inverter circuit is zero by controlling a specific combination of switch tubes in the multilevel inverter circuit to be turned on.

Abstract: A multi-level boost apparatus. Voltage allocation among N first switches is achieved by arranging the N voltage dividing modules. It is prevented that the second one to the N-th one of the first switches break down and fail due to overvoltage. By arranging an (i−1)-th clamp branch at a common node between an (i−1)-th second switch and an i-th second switch, a voltage bore by the i-th second switch is clamped at a difference between a voltage across the fourth branch (namely, an output voltage of the multi-level boost apparatus) and a voltage across the corresponding clamp branch. The risk is avoided that a second one to the N-th one of the second switches break down due to overvoltage at an instant of being powered, in a case that the input voltage is low.

Abstract: A multi-level boost apparatus. Voltage allocation among N first switches is achieved by connecting N voltage dividing modules, sequentially connected in series, in parallel with the N first voltage switches, respectively. Thereby, a voltage across each of the N first switches is within a safety range. Even if an input voltage is high and a voltage across a flying capacitor is zero at an instant of being powered, it is prevented that a second one to an N-th one of the N first switches break down due to overvoltage.

Abstract: A pulse width modulation (PWM) control method for a five-level inverting circuit is provided. The five-level inverting circuit includes a first capacitor, a second capacitor, a third capacitor and first to eighth switch branches. In this PWM control method, the control logic is set to enable the first and fourth switch branches to be turned on in a complementary manner, the second and fifth switch branches to be turned on in a complementary manner, the third and sixth switch branches to be turned on in a complementary manner, and the seventh and eighth switch branches to be turned on in a complementary manner, and enable the first and second switch branches to be turned on in an interlocking manner, and the sixth and fifth switch branches to be turned on in an interlocking manner.
