This paper presents the comparative analysis of n-level inverter. An n-level inverter has many
advantages,such as reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the dv/dt is low and the EMI from
the system is low, lower switching frequencies can be used and hence reduction in switching
losses. In this paper the generalized n-level inverter is developed in Matlab/Simulink environment.
The n-level inverters are triggered by Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation Technique. The
2-level, 3-level and 5-level inverter results are analyzed in terms of fundamental voltage and
THD.

SIMULATION RESULTS
The n-level inverter is simulated with the above
said switching scheme and the results are
observed. The input DC is fixing to 1 volt,
switching frequency of the VSI is chosen as modulation index 1 condition. It is seen that
10 kHz and the fundamental frequency is set maximum voltage and minimum THD is
to 50 Hz. The simulation results are discussed observed in the 5-level inverter. Figure 7 shows

inverter at modulation indices 1 condition. It is
found that increasing modulation indices the
fundamental voltage is increased and total

simulation results are obtained 5-level inverter.
Table 1 shows the simulation results for
different 3-level inverter its seen that when
increasing modulation Indices the THD is
reduced and the fundamental voltage is
increased. Table 2 shows the simulation results
for different 3-level inverter its seen that when
increasing modulation Indices the THD is
reduced and the fundamental voltage is
increased. Table 3 shows the comparative
