Implementation of Multilevel Inverter-Fed Induction Motor Drive

---

Abstract

This paper presents the simulation and implementation of multilevel inverter fed induction motor drive. The output harmonic content is reduced by using multilevel inverter. In symmetrical circuit, the voltage and power increase with the increase in the number of levels of inverter. The switching angle for the pulse is selected in such way to reduce the harmonic distortion. This drive system has advantages like reduced total harmonic distortion and higher torque. The model of the multilevel inverter system is developed with SVM strategy to control the induction motor. The experimental results coincide with simulation results.
