Abstract
Wide attention from academia and industry has been received for Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) as they offer high power capacity, lower harmonics, and lower switching losses. The usage of many switches in the conventional configuration causes a limitation, which leads to the development of a new topology with a switch count. This paper presents the development of Reduced Switch Single Source (RSSS) MLI, which can produce all voltage levels. The analysis of RSSS MLI is done using nine-level MLI, which consists of a few components compared to conventional topologies, thereby ensuring reduced size, minimum switching loss, and installation cost. The harmonic contents of the output voltage are obtained and compared using the carrier-based PWM technique. MATLAB/Simulink environment and experimental tests in the laboratory are used to validate the results.
