Abstract: In this article, a 13-level single phase cascaded hybrid multilevel inverter with a minimal number of
live switches is introduced. In this concept, a switched capacitor (SC) system is intended. The number of output
levels is determined by the number of switched capacitor cells. This circuit's design is fairly straightforward,
and it is simple to advance it. The gate drive circuits are simplified when the number of live switches is reduced,
and power losses are analysed. Using MATLAB/SIMULINK, a 13-level single phase cascaded hybrid multilevel
inverter model is created, along with targeted modulation schemes. A single phase induction is driven when this
multilevel inverter has been evaluated.............
