This study discusses the main features of 5 and 7-level DCI and some technical problems such as losses, cost and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Experimental results and simulations of the inverter with the control strategy are presented in MATLAB/Simulink to assure the efficiency of this logic control process.} }
