Abstract: Applications of multi level inverters have been broadly accepted for high power AC drives purposes. In this paper a multi level inverter with reduced number of components has been designed. The power quality of the output waveforms are controlled by proper selection of switching angles for different levels of the output. A simplified optimal THD modulation algorithm is used to calculate the proper switching angles of the output. This algorithm greatly reduces the computational efforts required than the conventional computation methods and also produces better output performances. The simulation model of 9-level asymmetrical inverter with reduced number of components is built to validate its operation and the results are presented.
