Harmonics Analysis of Single Phase VSI with 5-level and 7-level Inverter
Abstract: Abstract: The conventional two-level inverter is most commonly used for AC drive systems. The inverter produces harmonics, which will cause heating of the power electronic devices as well as load and deteriorate the life of it. Thus, anyhow harmonics should be suppressed or removed, the most common or well-known method to filter out harmonics are introduction of various filters between inverter and load according to requirements. The filters are mainly …
