This paper presents the experimental results of the independent drive characteristics of two three-phase induction motors (IMs) fed by a four-leg inverter (FLI). The FLI is a single inverter that can drive two three-phase ac motors independently. The inverter consists of four legs and two capacitors connected in a series. The U and V phases of both motors are connected in each leg, respectively, whereas the W phase of both motors is connected in the neutral point of two-sprit capacitors. The pulsewidth modulation technique in three-phase voltage source inverter is not directly applicable for the FLI because only two phases must be modulated. Then, this paper also analyzes about the neutral point potential of two-sprit capacitors and inverter output voltage. Next, the modulation technique in the FLI is also shown. The experimental results demonstrate the characteristics of two IM independent drives and the validity of those analytic results.
