Multilevel inverters have been widely used in various occasions due to their advantages such as low harmonic content of the output waveform. However, because multilevel inverters use a large number of devices, the possibility of circuit failure is also higher than that of traditional inverters. A T-type three-level inverter is taken as the research object, anda diagnostic study is performed on the open-circuit fault of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) devices in the inverter. Firstly, the change of the current path in the inverter when anopen-circuit fault of the device occurred, and the effect on the circuit switching states andthe bridge voltages were analyzed. Then comprehensively considered the bridge voltages,and proposed a fault diagnosis method for a T-type three-level inverter based on specificfault diagnosis signals. Finally, the simulation verification was performed. The simulation results prove that the proposed method can accurately locate the open-circuit fault of theinverter device, and has the advantage of being easy to implement.
