The topology of this inverter consists of several single‐phase H‐bridge inverters which can be independently bypassed if a fault is detected. As this action may result in an asymmetrical inverter topology, a new method based on the SPM is proposed to avoid voltage unbalances. Simulations and experimental results obtained in a five‐level multicell inverter prototype validate the proposed fault‐tolerant method. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.</jats:p>
