Abstract

See full text

The invention is directed to a neutral point clamped electric power conversion apparatus having four semiconductor switching elements connected in series. The capacity of outer free wheel diodes connected in reverse parallel with outer semiconductor switching elements are increased compared to that of inner free wheel diodes, thereby minimizing, an imbalance in losses between the inner and the outer free wheel diodes.
