Abstract
This paper proposes a new diode clamping multilevel Inverter, which gets rid of the need for series association of the clamping diodes in the conventional diode clamping multilevel inverter. The new diode clamping inverter utilizes the same number of switches and diodes as the conventional one for synthesizing an inverter of a given level. Operation fundamentals, clamping mechanism as well as experimental verifications are presented
