A multilevel inverter produces an output waveform with

  • A.more voltage steps and therefore less distortion
  • B.fewer voltage steps but a higher switching frequency
  • C.a single voltage step of larger magnitude
  • D.no voltage steps at all

Answer: A

Correct answer: more voltage steps and therefore less distortion

A multilevel inverter synthesises the output from several dc levels rather than two, so each step is smaller and the waveform approaches a sine more closely. Harmonic distortion falls, the rate of rise of voltage falls with it, and each device blocks only a fraction of the total - which is what makes the topology attractive at medium voltage.
