  • Patent number: 12143031
    Abstract: Described herein is a multi-level power convertor and a method for a multi-level power convertor. The multi-level power convertor includes a DC port; an AC port; a first power converting unit, a second power converting unit, a coupling inductor, and an inductive filtering unit. The first power converting unit is coupled to the DC port and includes a first AC terminal adapted to provide a first plurality of voltage levels. The second power converting unit is coupled to the DC port and includes a second AC terminal adapted to provide a second plurality of voltage levels, where the second plurality of voltage levels are phase-shifted by 90 degrees with respect to the first plurality of voltage levels. The coupling inductor includes first and second windings with a same number of turns. The inductive filtering unit is arranged between the AC port and ends of the first and second windings.

  • Patent number: 10763039
    Abstract: Provided is an inductor winding method and an inductor winding device. The inductor winding method comprises steps of: A. dividing turns of coil of each winding of the inductor into a first winding and a second winding based on a preset ratio; B. winding the first winding on one of multiple magnetic columns, and winding the second winding on another one of the multiple magnetic columns which is different from the magnetic column on which the first winding is wound; and C. performing step A and step B cyclically until all the windings of the inductor are wound. With a coupling inductor having interleaving-wound structure, power frequency magnetic fluxes generated by magnetic lines in magnetic columns counteract one another, thereby solving the problem of high magnetic flux density in a magnetic core while achieving certain leakage inductance.
