Hereinafter, the NPC three-level inverter outputs three-phase current to drive and vary the motor. Here, referring to FIG. 1C, harmonics of the output current can be lowered and the influence of reflected waves can be reduced as compared with the existing two-level PWM inverter with voltage levels of inverter output line voltages of 0, VDC / 2, and VDC. In addition, the three phase currents are currents in which each of the three currents has a phase difference of 120 degrees. The frequency and magnitude of the three phase currents vary depending on the load torque or the command speed.
