This work presents a new topology of a hybrid five-level inverter, conceived from the halfbridge and active neutral point clamped structures, suitable for high-voltage, high-power applications. The possible commutation stages, the switching drive logic, the semiconductors stresses mathematical analysis, and the losses study are presented. Two modulation techniques were selected in order to allow low-frequency (60 Hz) switches operate together with high-frequency switches (1020 Hz), reducing the number of commutations and, consequently, the overall losses and the output voltage total harmonic distortion. In order to validate the proposal, it was developed a 7.5 kVA prototype and AC line output voltage of 380 V. The digital implementation from both modulation techniques on the chosen programmable logic device FPGA is also presented. The experimental results relative to the three-phase structure validate the proposed topology. The topology, operating with the modulation based on Sinusoidal In-Phase Disposition - PWM, presented a THD of 29.71%, and WTHD of 1.93%, while the one based on the Centered Space Vector - PWM presented a THD of 38.45%, and a WTHD of 7.21%. Besides, the overall efficiency is superior when compared to the Half-Bridge/NPC topology, as expected, due to the fact that losses on this structure are higher and misdistributed.
