Abstract
This paper presents an artificial neural network based fault identification system for a five-level cascaded H-Bridge multi-level inverter (MLI). A Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network is trained using radial basis functiontraining algorithm to identify the location of the switch that is misfired at an instant prior to its actual firing time. The proposed fault diagnostic system identifies the fault with a greater accuracy and the results to various input patterns are presented in a tabular format for easy comprehension.
