Rama Reddy %J Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology %D 2011 %I Maxwell Science Publication %X This study deals with the simulation and experimentation of 7-level inverter. This study presents 7- level inverter with harmonics reduction along with the reduction in number of switches. The percentage (%) total harmonic distortion is calculated for 7-level inverter. The harmonic reduction is achieved by selecting appropriate switching angles. The functionality verification of the 7-level inverter is done using MATLAB. The result of simulation is verified by experimentation. %K Cascaded multilevel inverter %K 7-level inverter %U http://www.maxwellsci.com/jp/abstract.php?jid=RJASET&no=95&abs=05
