The multi-level inverter has advantages like minimum harmonic distortion and can operate on several voltage levels. A multi-level inverter is being utilized for multipurpose applications such as transportation, communication, industrial manufacturing, aerospace active power filter, Static Var Compensator, and machine drive. Power electronics equipment reliability is very important, and to ensure a multi-level inverter system’s stable operation; it is important to detect and locate faults as quickly as possible. It is difficult to diagnose a fault in a multi-level inverter using a mathematical model because it consists of many switching devices, in this context and to improve fault diagnosis accuracy and efficiency of a cascaded multi-level inverter (CHMLI), a fault diagnosis strategy based on the probability principal component analysis (PPCA) might be utilized. Different machine learning algorithms are used to classify and diagnose the faults under different conditions in a cascaded H-bridge multi-level inverter (CHMLI).

The multi-level inverter has advantages like minimum harmonic distortion and can operate on several voltage levels. A multi-level inverter is being utilized for multipurpose applications such as transportation, communication, industrial manufacturing, aerospace active power filter, Static Var Compensator, and machine drive. Power electronics equipment reliability is very important, and to ensure a multi-level inverter system’s stable operation; it is important to detect and locate faults as quickly as possible.
