INTRODUCTION
Inverters are circuits that converts dc
input voltage to a symmetric ac output
voltage by which both magnitude and
frequency can be controlled.
Applications :
adjustable speed ac motor drives,
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and ac
appliances run from an automobile battery.

EXAMPLE 2
Design an inverter that will supply the
series R-L load of R=10, L=25mH with a
fundamental frequency of 60Hz and
current amplitude of 9.27A and THD less
than 10%. A variable source is available.
EXAMPLE 2 (CONT)
The dominant harmonic
current is for n = 3 (third
harmonic), so the switching
scheme must eliminate the
third harmonic.

HALF-BRIDGE INVERTER
SUMMARY
Have examined operation of inverters as means
of producing variable-frequency, variable voltage
AC source from DC supply
PWM provides amplitude control of the
fundamental output frequency although the
harmonics have large amplitudes, they occur at
high frequency and are filtered easily.
Considered voltage-sourced and current-sourced
inverters which operate from DC supplies which
approximate constant voltage source
Introduced pulse-width-modulated inverter
