Inverter is a power electronic device used to
convert dc voltage into ac voltage at a fixed desired
frequency. Being a power electronic device, it is more
efficient and reliable due to absence of any mechanical
rotating part. Now a days an inverter is not only a
device but also a part of power sector but a simple
inverter has only two level so the out coming wave is
much distorted form fundamental sine wave which
introduces the harmonics into the circuit which makes
the total system less efficient along with that the age of
system decreases also there is a danger of faulty
operation [1]. As the harmonics by its nature have
heating effect along with distortion which is not good
for load as well as whole power system. So the concept
of multilevel inverter arises in which the levels of the
inverter is increased so that the distortion of the out-
coming wave could be minimized [2, 11]. As the level
rises the sinusoidality of the output wave increases and
thus harmonic content decreases [6]. But in case of
multilevel inverter everyone is trying to improve the
level of inverter by increasing the switches but in this
paper we have introduced a asymmetrical circuit for 7-
level inverter with a new topology so that the level of
inverter can be obtained with reduced switches with a
new topology and compared the modulation results with
each other so that we could obtain the various pulse
width modulation (PWM) technique results in this way
a deep study is being taken place on various PWM
modulation techniques on asymmetrical 7 leveled
multilevel inverter.
