“…Likewise, if no switch on the same column is closed, as is shown in Figure 3b, there is no path to inductive load currents, causing the appearance of over-voltages. In order to overcome these drawbacks, several commutation strategies based on the application of sequential steps using current measurements [9][10][11], voltage measurements [12][13][14][15][16], or measurements of both signals [17][18][19] have been proposed. One of the most relevant strategies is the four-step current commutation [9,20], which performs the switching from one BDS to another depending on the instant value of the current, as shown in Figure 4.…”
