Abstract
A three-phase multilevel inverter is connected to a first direct-current voltage source having a first voltage. Single-phase inverters are each connected in series to a corresponding phase of the three-phase multilevel inverter, and include a second direct-current voltage source, respectively, each having a second voltage. Combined output voltages, which are combinations of boost voltages generated by the three single-phase inverters and output voltages of the three-phase multilevel inverter, are supplied to a load. The control device adjusts a common mode voltage of the combined output voltages to be within a predetermined allowable range, and variation ranges of the line voltages in the combined output voltages to satisfy a specified condition established with the second voltage as a reference.
