Because of their ease of use, dependability, and relatively low cost, single-phase induction motors find widespread use in a variety of applications across a range of industries as well as in the home. On the other hand, they have a low power factor and significant levels of harmonic distortion, which contribute to their poor performance. Single-phase induction motors can be driven by hybrid H-bridge multilevel inverters, which are an effective solution for the problems described above. The performance and utilization factor of single-phase induction motors with hybrid H-bridge multilevel inverters are the primary subjects of this paper. According to the findings, the application of hybrid H-bridge multilevel inverters has the potential to significantly enhance the performance of single-phase induction motors. This is accomplished through the reduction of harmonic distortion, the increase of power factor, and the increase of utilization factor. The improved performance of single-phase induction motors with hybrid H-bridge multilevel inverters has the potential to reduce energy consumption, reduce the common mode voltage, increase efficiency, and provide a solution that is more sustainable for a wide range of applications. These benefits can be realized in a variety of different contexts.
