Abstract: A inverter is basically a device that usually converts DC to AC voltage without causing any power loss, applicable to only low to medium voltage applications. But in case of medium to high power applications, it has demerits like high switching losses, reduced cost and low efficiency. To overcome these demerits a Multilevel inverter applicable to high voltage and high-power applications which have low total harmonic distortion (THD) is introduced. This paper is mainly focused on seven-level inverter with five switches and four dc sources. with low total harmonic distortion, less switching loss without adding any complexity to the circuit. The switching topology is integrated with various SPWM techniques like Phase Disposition (PD), Phase Opposition Disposition (POD) and Anti Phase Opposition Disposition (APOD). For better performance of the inverter above three PWM techniques will be compared and analyzed to find the low THD configuration. The simulation of switching topology is done by MATLAB/Simulink.
