This paper is proposed to control the diode clamp multilevel inverter by using a synchronous sequential circuit for photo energy conversion. The performance of the multilevel inverter has been improved in-terms of minimum output harmonics distortion, simpler structure, effortless fault identification, cost-effectiveness and low power consumption. This new control strategy has maintained the balanced voltages on the dc link capacitors. PV based five-level diode clamped multilevel inverter has been validated with single induction motor drive through MATLAB/Simulink simulation and tested experimentally through the prototype model. {\^A}{\copyright} 2016 IEEE.}, isbn = {9781509008452}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85011961737&doi=10.1109\%2fICIAS.2016.7824068&partnerID=40&md5=2f6f69f350192669a759b1f11d993b8d}, author = {Kannan, R. and Angamuthu, R. and Ahmed, K.
