In the literature this is called third-harmonic injection or zero-sequence injection; this report<br />

prefers the term triplen harmonic injection (THI). Only the third harmonic has been discussed so<br />

far but higher triplens are also used. THI produces a maximum fundamental voltage of<br />

2 / 3V 1.1547V<br />

. If the only advantage of THI was to obtain a larger fundamental<br />

DC DC<br />

component it would not be of much value because the largest fundamental component is<br />

produced by squarewave mode. The defining merit in THI is that only the triplen harmonics are<br />

used. As shown in Appendix D, the triplen voltage harmonics (which are zero-sequence) appear<br />

in the neutral of a wye-connected load. Therefore it does not matter what magnitude of which<br />

triplen harmonic we add, the line-neutral voltage of the load will not be affected. Similarly, the<br />

line-line voltage does not contain triplen harmonics so the technique is applicable to deltaconnected<br />

loads as well, but it would cause a short circuit in a grounded-wye load.<br />

The amplitude of the third harmonic that should be added is debated. Analytically the value is<br />

determined to be 1/6 [127], [70, pp.226-9], but a value of 1/4 is thought to have benefits [70,<br />

p.229]. The optimum value is not of interest here—we are only interested in the phenomenon.<br />

More importantly, there are numerous advanced modulation techniques that are capable of<br />

attaining this same 2/ 3 gain in fundamental amplitude (SVM is one of them) but each<br />

technique relies on the same principle (that triplen harmonics reduce the peak value but do not<br />

affect phase-neutral load voltages). It should be noted that any quarterwave symmetric signal with<br />

a fundamental frequency that is three times the modulating frequency ( f 1)<br />

is a ZS signal; as such,<br />

it may be used to implement THI. For example, a squarewave has harmonics (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, …)<br />

but since these are at triple-frequency the harmonics are (3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, …) which are all<br />

triplen harmonics.<br />

Finally, in the same way that the modulation index could be referenced to the amplitude of the<br />

fundamental output in six-step squarewave mode, it could similarly be referenced to the<br />

maximum output of a THI inverter.<br />
