Abstract

For high voltage applications, H-bridge Cascaded MLI topology is one amid popular methods. It uses many series connected H-Bridge to produce AC voltage. The main benefits of MLI is better performance and low harmonics. Traditional MLI requires ‘n’ DC voltage bases to gain (2n + 1) stages. A new MLI by a level repetition system takes the method of a half-bridge inverter nearly twin the levels. The topology practises H-bridge MLI but offers a comparable presentation of an unequal topology in terms of voltage. Also, it keeps the virtue of unvarying stocking of the distinct cell for a MLI. The method is executed by linking a three-arm H-bridge (only two switches per phase) with the complete three-phase inverter to double the number of levels. Thus, it meaningfully recovers the power quality, lessens the switching frequency and lessens the cost and size of the power filter. The simulation results tested by the hardware setup.
