Abstract
In this paper a brief review of multilevel converter structure is presented. The main characteristics of phase shifted output transformer converters, modular converters and (strictly defined) multilevel converter are described. In the second part of the paper the application of multilevel converter to medium voltage adjustable speed drives (ASD), as jointly studied by Ansaldo and EPRI is illustrated
