The fluctuation of neutral-point potential (NPP) is an internal problem of three-level inverter. The fluctuation of NPP is investigated when the inverter, eight-switch three-phase inverter is working in fault tolerant mode. It is proved that the NPP fluctuation will cause output unbalance if the inverter is still controlled by the conventional space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) strategy. Thus, a novel SVPWM considering NPP fluctuation is proposed to suppress the output unbalance. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by the experimental results.
