The work presented in this paper concerned with the design and software synthesis of multilevel diode clamped converter. Two topologies of this type of converters have been considered and tested. The first topology was three-level diode clamped converter, while the second one was the five-level diode clamped converter. The major task of the proposed work is to feed a three-phase load with semi-pure (low distorted) sinewave three-phase voltages. Simulation results show that an approximately unity power factor, low harmonic distortion and balance of capacitors voltages are achieved. The work presented for three level and five level to verify the positive effect of increasing the level of converter. The digital simulation is performed using the MATLAB / Simulink software.
