    AnnotationThe basic principle of voltage balancing in capacitor-clamped voltage source inverters (VSIs) is explained and a simple balancing algorithm, which is very suitable for hardware implementation, is proposed. The function of the suggested algorithm is verified in all usual steady and transient states of the induction motor drive by computer simulations of an 850 kW drive and also by experiments on a small 2.2 kW drive. The unbalancing across flying caps can occur only due to very fast transients in dc link. The balancing method is designed to preserve all benefits of the standard space-vector modulation and simultaneously to prevent an increase in VSI average switching frequency above the PWM carrier frequency.
