A single-phase hybrid multilevel inverter is described that combines a 3-level leg and a 2-level leg to reduce the number of overall switching devices for a 5-level inverter. The 2-level inverter leg switches at a fundamental frequency and the 3-level flying capacitor leg uses PWM modulation to switch resulting in a low THD output voltage spectrum. The control method developed for the single-phase inverter is used to build a three-phase inverter comprised of three single-phase hybrid inverters in order to achieve a line-to-neutral voltage having five levels and a line-to-line voltage having nine levels.
