Asymmetrical multilevel inverter topology with low total standing voltage and reduced switches count

Summary This paper presented an improved asymmetrical multilevel inverter module with reduced switches count. The basic module is capable of producing 15 level outputs with four dc sources and 10 switches. The proposed topology has an inherent ability to generate negative voltage levels, made it possible to utilize lower rating switches, and has lower total standing voltage. To have more number of levels, a series‐connected cascade extension of...
