Abstract

In this paper, a design of symmetric and asymmetric multilevel inverter (MLI) with few quantities of switch is presented. The structure can be able to operate with both symmetric and asymmetric sources. The presented model is capable of producing output levels of 15 with symmetric structure and 33 with asymmetric structure. The tendered circuit is constructed with 14 switches and 7 sources. The presented MLI can be placed in moderate-voltage applications such as: electrical machine drives. The circuit's switching sequences are framed by a detailed discussion from its operation. In MATLAB/Simulink, the inverter is simulated for resistive, resistive-inductive, and induction motor loads, and the results are portrayed. Also, the working of the inverter is monitored in terms of harmonics presence in the load signals. Additionally, the presented MLI is developed in real time to evaluate its performances. The results obtained from the real time inverter are found satisfactory.
