The important factor in multi-level inverter is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). This study discuss nine level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. Also, proposed the effects of using filter on waveform and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of output voltage and current. Discussed LC low pass filter and sinusoidal pulse width modulation as control technique of switches. Comparison THD of nine level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter with and without filter. The proposed level and filter are design and simulate by MATLAB 2010 Version 7.11.0. The simulation results show the effects of using filter on THD and waveform of output voltage and current. Different methods for choosing filter value are used to illustrate the filter effect. ER -
