Multilevel inverters used in medium and high power applications to convert DC power into AC power. We need such inverter which have fewer number of DC sources at input, minimum switching components in the topology and low THD at output voltage waveform. In this paper a single phase 27 level Asymmetrical multilevel inverter (AMLI) topology have presented, The three carrier disposition pulse width modulation (CD-PWM) techniques have used  for the proposed 27 level topology, the topology was run in MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
