The increased components requirement to realize multilevel inverters (MLIs) fallout in a higher prospect of fault due to power semiconductor switches. Efficient fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) strategies have to be implemented to guarantee protection as well as the reliable operation of MLIs. This paper presents a novel open-transistor fault detection method in a charge balanced symmetric cascaded...
