Abstract: For power applications having high voltages multi-level inverters gain more attentiveness in comparison to conventional two level power converters due to less harmonic deformation, elevated DC link voltage, low EMI. But faults can affect the performance of multi-level inverters. By the large, 70% of the occuring faults in multi-level inverter circuits are open circuit faults. When faults exist in the system, fault mitigation is also a prior important task for the efficient operation of the system. In this paper, a comparison between two fault mitigation techniques, former the conventional asymmetrical PWM and latter the leg four implementation were provided which were simulated in the software MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results were shown at the instants of prior to fault, during fault and fault after mitigation.
