1200 Conduction Mode with Resistive Load In this type of conduction mode, each switch conducts for 1200

.At any instant of time, only two switches remain on. Like in the above case, here also gate pulse indicates the conduction period of each switch. In this case also ,six communications per cycle are required. The gating signals and various voltage waveforms of three-phase bridge inverter with 1200 conduction for each switch ,one period of inverter operation has been divided into six intervals. The firing sequence of six switches is prepared, Like 1800 mode,1200mode inverter also required six steps, each of 600 duration, for completing one cycle of the output a.c. voltage.

The base drives of two switches in the same-half-bridge have an inherent dead band of 600 .Hence ,there is no possibility of cross conduction or shootthrough fault. Conduction period of each switch is 1200 . phase-swift between triggering of every two adjacent switch is 600 .

line voltages, EAB,EBC,ECA are six-step waves, with step heights Edc /2 and Edc. The three-line voltages mutually phase shifted by 1200 . three-phase voltages EAN,EBN and ECN are quasi-square-waves with peak values of Edc/2.They are also mutually phase-shifted by 1200 . line-voltage EAB is leading the phase-voltage EAN by 300 .

It is observed that two switches conduct at a time, one from the upper group and another from lower group. There are three modes of operation in one half-cycle and the equivalent circuits for the star connected load.

During interval I, for (0t<3), switches S1 and S6 conduct. I=Edc/2R; EAN=IR; EAN=(Edc/2R)*R;

EAN=Edc/2; EBN=-Edc/2;

During interval II,for (3t23),switches S1 and S2 conduct. I=Edc/2R; VAN=IR; =(Edc/2R)*R; VAN=Edc/2; VNC=IR; VNC=-Edc/2;

interval III,for(23t33),switches S2 and S3 conduct.

circuit of the d.c. supply through one upper and one lower switch. At any-time, two load terminals are connected to d.c. supply and the third one remains open. The potential of this open terminal will depend on the load characteristics and would be unpredictable.
