Abstract :
This article presents three machine drive systems with a five-leg converter and two machines connected in series. All the configurations use ten power switches and does not have any connection to the mid-point of the capacitor bank. The pulse-width modulation techniques and the control laws are investigated. The main characteristics and some selected experimental results of the machine drive systems are presented
