What is an Inverter?
• A static device that converts DC power into AC power at desired
output voltage and frequency is called an Inverter.
• Applications
• Adjustable – speed AC drives,
• Induction Heating,
• Aircraft power supplies,
• UPS etc….
Classification of Inverters
• According to the method of Commutation
• Line Commutated Inverter
• Force Commutated Inverter
• According to the method of Connections
• Series Inverter
• Parallel Inverter
• Bridge Type Inverter
• According to the nature of DC source feeding the Inverter
• Voltage source Inverter
• Current Source Inverter
Voltage Source Inverters
• VSI has a constant voltage at its input terminals.

Harmonic profile of Single PWM
• 3rd, 5th & 7th harmonics dominate
when the voltage is reduced.

• Compare the Reference Signal with the Carrier
• Frequency of the Reference Signal determines the Output Voltage Frequency
• Frequency of the Carrier determines the number of pulses per half-cycle
• Modulation Index controls the Output Voltage

• It is seen from the above that the fundamental component of output voltage is
low for two pulse modulation than it is for single pulse modulation.
• But lower order harmonics are eliminated and higher order harmonics are
increased. But higher order harmonics can be filtered easily.
• This scheme is advantageous than single pulse modulation.
• But large number of pulses per half cycle requires frequent turn on and turn off
switching devices.
• This will increase switching losses.
Sinusoidal Pulse Modulation
• In this method, several pulses per half cycle are used as in the case of
multiple pulse modulation.
• But width of each pulse is modulated proportional to the amplitude of
sine wave.
• Gate pulses are generated by comparing sinusoidal reference signal with
triangular carrier signal.
• Frequency of reference signal (fr) decides the frequency of output voltage.
• The ratio of Vr/Vc is called the modulation index which controls the output
voltage.
• Number of pulses per half cycle depends on the carrier frequency (fc).

By increasing the number of pulses (p) per half cycle, the lower
order harmonics get cancelled. But higher order harmonics will get
increased.
Higher order harmonics can be filtered out easily.
Higher value of ‘p’ results in more switching losses and leads to
reduction of efficiency of inverter.
This type of modulation eliminates all harmonics less than 2p-1.
What is Over Modulation? Contd..
• When the peak magnitude of modulating signal exceeds the peak magnitude of carrier signal, the
PWM inverter operates under over-modulation.
• During over-modulation the output voltage increases slightly.

The main features of MSPWM are:
• Less number of switching of power devices between 60o and 120o
• Reduction of switching losses
• Increase of fundamental component.
• Harmonic characteristics are improved.

Reduction of Harmonics in the Inverter O/P
• But a bigger size filter is required for reducing lower order harmonics.
• Using α1 and α2, voltages of 7th, 9th and 11th harmonics are found as,
• The amplitude of the fundamental component for these values of α1
and α2 is,
• In this method, the inverters are de-rated by 13% but this is less compared to the
previous method
Harmonic Reduction by Stepped Wave
Inverters
• In this method, pulses of different widths and heights are super
imposed to get a resultant stepped wave with reduced harmonic
content.
