 INTRODUCTION
Inverter perform DC AC conversion .

Multilevel inverters mainly used in medium voltage and high

power applications .

Widely used MLI are Neutral point clamped , Flying capacitor,

Cascaded H bridge .

MLI have the ability to produce quality sine wave in their

output with fewer harmonics .
 Topology suggested here reduces the number of switches &

losses in MLI .

To produce m voltage levels in the output of the MLI, (m+1)

power electronic semiconductor switches are used .

 CASCADED H BRIDGE MULTILEVEL
INVERTER
Built to synthesize a desired AC voltage from several levels of
DC .
DC levels are considered to be identical .
It requires least number of components compared to the other
type of MLI .
It consists of number of H bridge inverter units with separate
dc source for each unit .
This is connected in series or cascade form .
 Each produces three different voltage levels +E ,0, -E by
connecting the dc source to ac output side by different
combinations of four switches .

The ac outputs of different full bridge inverters are connected

in series .

The synthesized voltage waveform is the sum of the inverter

outputs .
 PROPOSED TOPOLOGY
In multilevel inverter topologies no of devices depends on the
voltage level .

Increase in switches increases the cost , complexity & installation

area.

This topology provides higher output levels with reduced number of

switches .

Here five levels are obtained in the output -+2E , +E , 0 ,-E, -2E.
 E voltage of single dc source .

(m-1)/2 dc sources of equal values are used & produces m

levels in output waveform .

For value of voltage level E and +E diodes D4 and D5

conducts .

D4 ,D5 not work as freewheeling but also as active switches

carrying load currents .
COMPARISON
Conventional cascaded H bridge for m levels -2*(m-1) number
of switches per phase .

In the proposed model number of switches are (m+1) for m

levels .

Proposed model losses are reduced as well as considering

bulk production of units , it can turn into significant savings .
CONCLUSION
In this project a new MLI structure is proposed without making
use of any transformer and capacitors .

Reduces size , cost and losses .

Modular design can help in increasing the number of output

voltage levels as per requirement .
