Abstract

A flying capacitor-type NPC three-level topology, comprising: two half-busbar capacitors and at least one bridge arm. The bridge arm comprises: a flying capacitor, two inner transistor units, two outer transistor units, and two clamping diodes, wherein the capacitance of the flying capacitor is greater than a specific value. Since the flying capacitor has a clamping effect on the two inner transistor units and the capacitance of the flying capacitor is large, voltage fluctuations of the flying capacitor would not cause overvoltage of switching transistors no matter what type of short circuit fault occurs, thereby preventing the switching transistor units from being damaged due to overvoltage and further improving the security of a circuit.
