Procedure:
Steps to create Simulation Model using PSIM: 1. Click on File New. 2. Make/Model the circuit by placing all its Blocks from its corresponding Library/toolbox, which is clearly shown in the table 1. Right click on the block to rotate mirror etc. to organize the circuit elements. 3. To change the circuit parameters applicable to the block by double clicking on the block/element and type the values. Keep the values default for some blocks like thyristor, diodes, mosfet etc. Power Electronics-II EE Department, SPCE

4. To measure/observe the voltage across or current passes through the electrical block/device, connect voltmeter blocks , it is available on the Elements/others/Probes/Voltmeter To observe the waveform provide the clock from the simulate/simulation control provide time to observe the wave form. 5. For Half wave inverter, components required and its parameter values tabulated in Table 1. The schematic arrangement is shown in schematic diagram.

Steps to simulating the circuit using PSIM: 1. After correcting all errors start by creating a simulation. 2. To run the simulation, select simulate Run Simulation. 3. If any errors are reported here. Correct schematic or the simulation settings and re-run simulation. 4. To view simulation plots on simulation window, add the desired output name on the right side of the window. 5. The waveforms obtained are shown in Fig 1, 2.
