Abstract

The advancement of inverter technology has seen rapid growth and widespread adoption across various industrial and commercial sectors. The output wave of the inverter has seen significant development since the introduction of the multilevel inverter. By utilizing multilevel inverters, the strain on switch components can be alleviated due to the low frequency of the power wave. This results in generating a voltage that closely resembles the desired output of the AC voltage. The study demonstrated the efficient utilization of resistive loads by the transformer, with the average sinusoid voltage source measuring 103.6%. When conducting inverter testing with a 60 Volt resource, the current input, output, voltage, and input and output efficiency measurements are obtained using a 10 Amper resource. After analyzing the data collected from the tests, it was found that the system's output voltage fell short of the anticipated 220 Volt. When a load of 60 W/220V is added, the system's output voltage is affected, resulting in an output of 740.5 Volts. When the light load is decreased to 60W/220V, the output voltage rises to 786.9 Volt with an average inverter efficiency of 77%. The input power efficiency ranges from 25.5% to 80.0% when calculated based on the inverter power capacity limit.
