Viewed as extensions of the single-phase bridge circuit.
 The switching signals for each switches of an inverter leg are
displaced or delayed by 120o.
 With 120o conduction, the switching pattern is T6T1 – T1T2 –
T2T3 – T3T4 – T4T5 – T5T6 – T6T1 for the positive A-B-C
sequence.
 When an upper switch in an inverter leg connected with the
Three-Phase Inverter
 When an upper switch in an inverter leg connected with the
positive DC rail is turned ON, the output terminal of the leg
(phase voltage) goes to potential +VDC/2.
 When a lower switch in an inverter leg connected with the
negative DC rail is turned ON, the output terminal of that leg
(phase voltage) goes to potential -VDC/2.

Since the objective of the inverter is to use a
DC voltage source to supply a load that
requiring AC voltage, hence the quality of
the non-sinusoidal AC output voltage or
current can be expressed in terms of THD.
Total Harmonics
Distortion
current can be expressed in terms of THD.
 The harmonics is considered to ensure that
the quality of the waveform must match to
the utility supply which means of power
quality issues.
 This is due to the harmonics may cause
degradation of the equipments and needs to
be de-rated.

- provides a way to decrease the THD of load current.
- the amplitude of the o/p voltage can be controlled with the

- reduced filter requirements to decrease harmonics.

- reduced filter requirements to decrease harmonics.
■ Disadvantages of PWM switching

inductive load of 25mH connected in series with
the fundamental frequency current amplitude of
9.27A. The THD of the inverter is not more than
9.27A. The THD of the inverter is not more than
10%. If at the beginning of designing the inverter,
the THD of the current is 16.7% which is does
not meet the specification, find the voltage

required DC input supply and the new THD of the
current.
Example 3.6

amplitude modulation ratio is 0.8, and the frequency
modulation ratio is 21. The load has resistance of R =
10Ω and inductance L = 20mH. Determine:
(a) The amplitude of the 60Hz component of the output
voltage and load current.
(b) The power absorbed by the load resistor
(c) The THD of the load current
