Abstract
A multilevel inverter includes a set of inverter switches arranged in a multilevel inverter topology. The multilevel inverter topology has a high voltage (V) input, a low voltage input and an intermediate voltage input. A first voltage source connects the high voltage input to the intermediate voltage input and a second voltage source connects the intermediate voltage input to the low voltage source.
