Design and the Development of a Self-Starting SMPS for Multilevel Inverters

Authors(4) :-Rajesh. S, Yeshwanth. S, P. Vinodraj, Priyanka. N. Dodamani

Multilevel inverters are often employed in remote areas, where they are only exposed to a high dc voltage, e.g. a flying capacitor multilevel inverter for DC reticulation. This paper aims at investigating the design and the development of a self-starting SMPS for multilevel inverters in the quest for solving the dc power supply problem. A circuit for pre-charging the flying capacitors of the multilevel inverter prior to switching of the inverter is also presented.
