The invention discloses a 
diode clamping five-level dual buck half-bridge 
inverter which comprises a first five-level buck circuit, a second five-level buck circuit, a 
direct current power input circuit and a 
load circuit. The 
inverter is controlled by adopting 
voltage-current dual 
closed loop SPWM (Sinusoidal 
Pulse Width Modulation), the two five-level buck circuits are controlled to work withina 
half cycle according to the direction of inductive current and the magnitude of output 
voltage, and five-level PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) wave output is obtained respectively on two output bridgearms through different switch combination. The invention has the advantages that the advantages of straight through without bridge arms of the dual buck circuits and 
diode reverse recovery without switching tube are reserved; five-level output is realized, and the 
harmonic wave content of output 
voltage is reduced, thus the size of a filter can be reduced, the 
switching frequency of a PWM part can be reduced, the switching loss can be reduced, and the efficiency can be improved; compared with a half-
bridge type inverter, the voltage stress of power devices is reduced so that a switching device of medium or low power is suitable for occasions of 
high voltage and high power; and only eight power diodes are needed in the circuits, compared with a five-level 
diode clamping inverter, the quantity of the diodes is reduced by 1 / 3, and a clamping circuit is simplified.
