Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method and circuit enabling off-the-shelf controllers designed for use with a two-level AC drive inverter bridge (1920) to drive inverter bridges with three-or-more levels. Signals from an ordinary induction motor controller or a two-level induction motor controller (2200) are used to drive the twelve-or-more switches of a three-or-more level inverter bridge (1920), as are used in medium-and-high voltage applications. The proper sequence and timing of switching for the three-or-more-level inverter bridge is based in-part upon either the output of the six pulse-width modulators or the output of , the flux and torque control device or the voltage control device , (2210) of the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed July 31, 2003 and granted August 28, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 31, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 31, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
