description Methods of testing a multilevel inverter include selectively pulsing (i.e., attempting to turn on) at least one of the inner and outer switches of the inverter and determining a status of at least one of the inner switches, the outer switches and the neutral clamping diodes of the inverter based whether the pulsed at least one of the inner and outer switches desaturates. The pulsing may be preceded by charging the DC bus to a predetemined voltage magnitude that is less than a nominal working voltage magnitude of the DC bus, e.g., the predetermined voltage magnitude may be around 50% or less of the nominal working voltage magnitude.
