{{Short description|Widely used topology of multilevel inverters in high-level applications}} '''Neutral point clamped''' ('''NPC''') inverters are widely used topology of multilevel inverters in high-power applications. This kind of inverters are able to be used for up to several megawatts applications.

The three-level neutral-point-clamped PWM inverter was proposed by Akira Nabae, Isao Takahashi, and Hirofumi Akagi in 1981.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Nabae |first1=Akira |last2=Takahashi |first2=Isao |last3=Akagi |first3=Hirofumi |title=A New Neutral-Point-Clamped PWM Inverter |journal=IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications |volume=IA-17 |issue=5 |pages=518-523 |date=September 1981 |doi=10.1109/TIA.1981.4503992}}</ref>
