Giri Journal on Circuits And Systems 2322–035X 5 2 41 50 Multilevel Inverter, Diode Clamped Inverter, Pulse Width Modulation, Induction Motor, Harmonic Distortion, Active Filter In the present time, the multilevel inverters gained a large interest by the researchers due to proficient power conversion with multiple voltage steps and consequently improved power quality, higher electromagnetic compatibility, reduced switching losses, and better voltage capability. Generally, the multilevel inverters are widely used in the industries for high power and high voltage applications. The multilevel inverter topology synthesizes a sinusoidal voltage from several levels of voltages obtained from capacitor voltage sources. This paper presents a three phase five level diode clamped inverter fed induction motor drive. The simulation of the model has been done in the latest Matlab/Simulink environment. The proposed simulation model gives efficient results with reduced harmonics in the stator current of the motor. Further, the harmonic analysis of the inverter voltages has also been done. Furthermore, for reduction of significant harmonics, active filter has also been used. This proposed simulation model may be used in many power electronics and drive applications.
