Abstract
An exemplary inverter includes first, second and third legs connected in parallel to a line rail and a neutral rail. Each leg includes a first switch, a second switch, and a node between the first and second switches. The first leg further includes a voltage boosting section operable to selectively increase and decrease the voltage potential of the node of the first leg. The voltage boosting section may include a capacitor in parallel with the first and second switches. The first leg may further include a third switch in series with the voltage boosting section and between the voltage boosting section and the line rail, and a fourth switch in series with the voltage boosting section and between the voltage boosting section and the neutral rail.
