The sinusoidally modulated staircase switching technique is utilized to control level generating circuitry to produce only positive voltage across H-Bridge terminals. H-Bridge circuitry is used to generate polarities. In this technique, optimal switch count is considered for this topology. The proposed topology was analyzed in MATLAB/SIMULINK and also a mathematical analysis was done for THD calculation. In both analyses, the THD was found 0.27 for the modified topology. For experimental validation of this modified topology, a prototype was developed and tested in the laboratory. The experimental waveform for a 60W electric bulb is shown in this paper. Finally, The THD of output voltage and efficiency of the inverter were found 1.13 and 93.7 respectively using HIOKI PW3337 POWER METER. {\^A}{\copyright} 2022 IEEE.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85143444832&doi=10.1109\%2fIEACon55029.2022.9951803&partnerID=40&md5=897a7ba1e7a0ceaf14cd1c6a449e2e9c}, keywords = {Bridge circuits; DC-DC converters; Electric inverters, 63 level inverte; H-bridges; Inverter topologies; MOS-FET; MOSFETs; Multi Level Inverter (MLI); Multilevels; Single phasis; Switching techniques; THD, Topology}, isbn = {9781665480062}, author = {Rafiul Islam, M. and Mahmudul Hasan, M. and Kannan, R.} }
