Aim: The aim of this proposed novel multilevel inverter (MLI) topology is to minimize the device count compared with conventional multilevel inverter topology thereby reducing the cost. Materials and Methods: Novel MLI topology is compared with conventional MLI. Sample size is calculated using Gpower software and determined as 14. Gpower is taken as 0.8. Results: For 21 level output voltage the conventional MLI topology requires 40 devices (switches and diodes) whereas novel MLI topology requires 23 devices (switches and diodes). Significance value is observed as 0.012 (p<0.05, statistically significant). Conclusion: It is observed that the Novel multilevel inverter topology utilizes less device count compared to conventional MLI topology which results in reduced cost
