The inverter circuit's output

voltage waveform can be square Subscribe
wave, quasi-square wave or low
distorted sine wave.
AC output voltage is built by
using SCR as switches. So
inverter circuit with fewer
components have non sinusoidal
output waveform.
By adding complex circuits, it is
possible to obtain sinusoidal
output voltages.
With the help of drives of the
switches(SCRs), the output
 voltage can be controlled (ie,
adjustable).
To control the output voltage of
inverters, the pulse width 6-30 Watt DC/
modulation(PWM) techniques
are generally used. Such
DC Converter
inverters are known as PWM
inverters.
The output voltage of the
inverter contain harmonics
whenever it is non sinusoidal.
These harmonics can be reduced Wide input voltage
by using proper control range, 1:2, 1:4, 1:10
schemes. optional.

Requirements of a Practical Inverter

are listed below

1. Ability to operate into an

inductive load
2. Provision for over current
protection.
3. Controllable output
4. Close proximity of the output
waveform to sinusoidal
waveform
5. Ability to work with load
disconnected
6. Drive rating should not be
exceeded
