 INTRODUCTION
DC to ac converters are known as inverters.The functions of an
inverter is to change a dc input voltage to a symmertric ac output voltage of
desired magnitude and frequency.The output voltage could be fixed or
variable at a foxed or variable frequency.A variable output voltage can be
obtained by varying the input dc voltage and maintining the gain of the
inverters constant.On the other hand,if the dc input voltage is fixed and it’s
not controlled,a variable output voltage can be obtained by varying the gain
of the inverter,which is normally accomplished by pulse-width-modulation
(PWM) control within the inverter.The inverter gain may be defined as the
ratio of the ac output voltage to dc input voltage.
The output voltage waveform of ideal inverters should be sinusoidal.
However the waveform of practical inverter are nonsinusoidal and contain
certain harmonics for low-and medium-power applications, square-wave or
quasi-square-wave voltage may be acceptable; and for high-power
applications, low distortion sinusoidal wave forms are required.with the
availibility of high-speed power semiconductor devices.
The harmonic contents of output voltage can be minimized or reduced
significantly by switching techniques.
Inverters are widely used in industrial applications (e.g.,Variable-
speed ac motor drives, induction heating, standby power supplies,and
unintruptiable power supplies).The input may be a battery, fuel cell, solar
cell, or other dc source.The typical single-phase outputs are (1) 120v at 60
Hz,(2) 220v at 50 Hz, (3) 115 at 400 Hz. For high-power three-phase
systems, typical output are (1) 220 to 380 V at 50 Hz, (2) 120 to 208 V at
60Hz, and (3) 115 to 200 at 400 Hz.
The reason behind selecting this project was, daily, we hear the world
inverter many time when electricity gone and all the load such as computer,
tubelight, Fans,T.V. are worked on inverter.What is the actual functions of
inverter? What is inside the inverter? How it works was our curiosity behind
the selection of this project.
An inverter is called a voltage-fed inverter (VFI) if the input voltage
remains constant, a current-fed inverter (CFI) if the input voltage is
controlleable.If the ouput voltage or current of the inverter is forced to pass
through zero by creating an LC resonant citcuit,this type of inverter is called
resonant-pulse inverter and it has wide application in power electronics.
It’s main function is provide uninterrupted power supplies as needed
in computers, a.c.motor drives,aircraft power supplies.
