A control arrangement for a multilevel convertor employs an AC reference signal which is locked to the AC system frequency and is compared with a number of DC threshold levels. Intersections of the reference signal and threshold levels triggers the firing and turning-off of GTOs within the convertor to produce the desired multilevel voltage output. Normal changes in system voltage, for example, are compensated by variation of the phase relationship of the reference signal with respect to the system voltage, and/or of the voltage values of the threshold levels. Sudden and drastic changes, especially reductions, in system voltage level are sensed and used to alter the amplitude of the reference signal so as to reduce the difference between the convertor multilevel voltage and the system voltage, thereby reducing the stress on the GTOs during faults.
