The invention discloses a novel cascaded three-phase bridge converter and belongs to alternating current (AC) / direct current (DC) converters. The converter comprises three-phase AC power supplies, three input inductors and three cascaded three-phase voltage type bridge converters, wherein the three-phase AC power supplies are in star connection and do not have a neutral line.

By using cascade connection between bridge arms of the three-phase bridges, compared with a three-phase cascaded converter which is cascaded in same level (m level) and consists of single-phase H-bridge cascaded converters, the novel cascaded three-phase bridge converter has the advantage that: six active switching tubes and m+1 output capacitors are eliminated, so the cost and volume of the converter are reduced.
