Abstract

Multilevel inverters are usually employed in high-power applications. Lower harmonics in the output make the multilevel inverters capable to handle high-power applications. Their main drawbacks are complex circuitry, with high number of power electronic devices and passive components. So, a structure called Transistor Clamped H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (TCHB) is designed. This topology gives five-level voltage output with reduced number of switches. The simulation results employing level-shifted multicarrier modulation are presented, and THD is observed.
