Modular nine-level single-phase inverter with quadruple voltage gain using reduced blocking voltage switches by V. Fernão Pires, Armando Cordeiro, Daniel Foito, Joaquim Monteiro, Hao Chen, J. Fernando Silva

“…The suggested solution includes a transformerless, single-phase, nine-level voltage source inverter that cuts down on the number of passive parts that are needed while still achieving a high-voltage gain of up to four times the input DC voltage sources. An essential feature of this topology is that all the switches are subjected to a maximum blocking voltage four times lower than the maximum AC voltage that can be applied to the load. …”
