3-Phase 3-Level Inverter Vienna rectifier is needed for unidirectional power conversion. Also it has been considered as topology for input current THD reduction of AC/DC converter. Compared with 2-Level PWM rectifier, THD of output voltage of 3-Level Vienna rectifier is lower. 3 Level Vienna rectifier is easy to reduce input current THD. Furthermore, it takes half voltage stress in power element. As a result, it can use a device of lower voltage stress. Therefore, this topology has a very big advantage for high efficiency of converter because switching loss is low. Because of high efficiency, Vienna rectifier has been used in the field demanding the maximum safety of the power supply. However, Common mode noise is caused by variation of common mode voltage in Vienna rectifier. It has a bad influence on EMI problem and system so it leads to a problem on control system. EMI problem worsen communication disconnection or electronic circuit function by electromagnetic interference. To eliminate common mode noise in Vienna rectifier, There are cases in which proposed a method of attaching by designing the EMI filter circuit. However, if filter is attach to the board, the board size is expanded. Also cost is increased. Therefore, This paper has applied the MVPWM to reduce the variation of the common mode voltage. Recently, MVPWM is proposed to reduce common mode noise in 3-level inverter. It is the switching method to generate “(+)”, “0” and “(-)” at the same time on each of three phase using a eight medium vector with the same common mode voltage. When three kinds of voltages come out simultaneously on three phase, Common mode voltage variation is reduced. thus, Common mode noise is reduced. This paper applies MVPWM switching method to Vienna rectifier and proves result through simulation and experiment.
