Abstract :
A reduced switch topology for multilevel inverters is presented in this paper. This makes use of normal H bridge inverter with some structural modifications. Almost all the demerits of the conventional multilevel inverters is rectified by the proposed topology. Further it has inherent improved advantages too. The structure of inverter and the modulation strategies associated with the modulation scheme are also being discussed in this paper. The proposal is validated by extensive simulation studies.
