voltage from several levels of dc voltages
De
pa • The Multi level inverter is like an inverter and it is used for
industrial applications as alternative in high power and medium
voltage situations.
• It has been introduced in 1975 as alternative in high power and
medium voltage situations by NABLE ELAL

Multilevel inverters have become more

less disturbances in voltage and the possibility to function at
lower switching frequencies than ordinary two level inverter.

1. Reduced harmonic distortion: Multilevel converters not
Me
ch
f
o only can generate the output voltages with very low distortion,
t
en
m
rt but also can reduce the dv/dt stresses; therefore electromagnetic
De
pa
compatibility (EMC) problems can be reduced.

2. Common-mode (CM) voltage: Multilevel converters produce

smaller CM voltage; therefore, the stress in the bearings of a
motor connected to a multilevel motor drive can be reduced.

fundamental switching frequency and high switching frequency
PWM. It should be noted that lower switching frequency usually
means lower switching loss and higher efficiency

• A diode transfers a limited amount of
voltage, thereby reducing the stress
on other electrical devices. The
maximum output voltage is half of
the input DC voltage.
