Abstract: A novel design of 7-level Diode Clamped Inverter (DCI) with one voltage source, 6 capacitors in series connected in parallel with the source, 12 diodes and 6 switches is presented with a new strategy using direct pulse generator with logic points to operating the proposed inverter are introduced. This study discusses the main features of 5 and 7-level DCI and some technical problems such as losses, cost and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Experimental results and simulations of the inverter with the control strategy are presented in MATLAB/Simulink to assure the efficiency of this logic control process.
