CASCADE MULTILEVEL INVERTER WITH REDUCED NUMBER OF POWER ELECTRONIC SWITCHES

This paper aims to present a new multilevel inverter with reduced number of power electronic switches. For the high power demand highly developed power electronics converters are necessary. So that multilevel power converters has been launched as an substitute in high power and medium voltage situations. Multilevel inverter not only gets high power rating but also advance performance of whole system in terms of harmonics and dv/dt stress.
