Inverter is a power electronic device used to
convert dc power into ac power at desired frequency
and desired voltage level. Being a power electronic
device, and due to absence of any rotating part and high
switching ability, it is more efficient and reliable. Now a
days an inverter is not only a device but also has become
an important part of power industry but a simple
inverter has only two level so the out coming wave is
much distorted form fundamental sine wave of same
time period and frequency which introduces the
harmonics into the circuit which makes the total system
less efficient along with that the heating effect of
harmonics affects the age of system, also there is a
danger of faulty operation [1,8]. As the presence of
harmonics in the system have heating effect along with
distortion which is not good for load as well as whole
power system. So the concept of multilevel inverter
came into existence in which the levels of the inverter is
increased so that the distortion of the out-coming wave
could be minimized [2].as the level rises the sinusoidal
nature of the output wave increases and thus harmonic
content decreases. In this paper a new asymmetrical
multilevel inverter topology for 7 Level Inverter is
proposed and its operation is being discussed and
topology extended to 19 Level Inverter.
