Abstract
In response to the growing demand for high power inverter unit, multilevel inverters have been attracting extensive attention from academia as well as industry in the recent decade. Among the best-known topologies are the H-bridge cascade inverter, the capacitor clamping inverter and the diode clamping inverter. In a three phase multilevel inverter, each phase of a cascaded multilevel inverter requires n DC sources to obtain 2n+1 output voltage levels. This study proposes a cascaded multilevel inverter with two unequal battery sources instead of three equal voltage battery sources for one phase to generate 7 level equal step output voltage waveform. This system can be used to drive a 3 phase Induction Motor of electric/hybrid electric vehicle, so that the cost and size of batteries can be reduced.
