INTRODUCTION
There are many methods of inverter control. Only current Inverter Control
mode control schemes will be considered here. These

and average current mode controllers. An average current The switches in one leg (one phase) of the inverter are

but has a filtering effect on the switchmg component of the

HIGH CREST FACTOR LOAD reference well. The output voltage is clipped. The crest
factor of the inductor current is also much lower than
expected due to the output voltage being clipped.
A computer will typically load the inverter of a UPS with a
non-linear load consisting of a diode bridge rectifier with
smoothng capacitor. The current drawn from the inverter
will no longer be sinusoidal and will have a high crest
factor. The output voltage ideally should be sinusoidal, but
ifthe dynamics of the inverter are not 'good enough then the
sine wave will be distorted, typically the top of the sine wave
will be 'chopped off.
