In the first mode, it can produce seven-level output voltage employing two switched capacitors and one single DC supply. The five-level output voltage is produced while operating the second mode. The voltage ratio between the input and output voltage for the capacitor mode is 1:3 (triple voltage gain). During the first mode, the capacitor of the inverter is self -balanced whereas the inverter can produce higher voltage output in the DC source mode. The proposed inverter reduces the total standing voltage in both modes of operations as it can generate the output voltage without requiring any additional H-bridge circuit. The feasibility and predominate features of the proposed inverter have been established by comparing with existing topologies in terms of power components count. Results obtained from this study are validated using simulation employing sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM). A hardware prototype has also been developed for further validation. © 2013 IEEE. date: 2021 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85103239573&doi=10.1109%2fACCESS.2021.3067139&partnerID=40&md5=fdcc132661f73ca1c9619808fe1b00d2 id_number: 10.1109/ACCESS.2021.3067139 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE Access volume: 9 pagerange: 59873-59887 refereed: TRUE issn: 21693536 citation: Meraj, S.T. and Hasan, M.K. and Islam, J. and El-Ebiary, Y.A.B. and Nebhen, J. and Hossain, M.M. and Alam, M.K. and Vo, N.
