In this paper, a New Low Loss Quasi-Parallel Resonant DC-Link(NLQPRDCL) Inverter which shows highly improved PWM capability, low loss characteristic and low voltage stress is presented. A method to minimize freewheeling interval, which is able to largely decrease DC-link operation losses and to steadily guarantee soft switching in the wide operation region is also proposed. In addition, lossless control of zero voltage duration of DC-link makes the proposed inverter maintain the advanced PWM capability even under a very low modulation index. Experiment and simulation were performed to verify validity of the proposed inverter topology.
