INTRODUCTION
Inverters are circuits that converts dc input
voltage to a symmetric ac output voltage by
which both magnitude and frequency can be
controlled.
Applications :
adjustable speed ac motor drives, uninterruptible
power supplies (UPS), and ac appliances run from
an automobile battery.

OUTPUT
In square wave inverters, maximum output
voltage is achievable.
However there in NO control in harmonics and
output voltage magnitude.
i.e the harmonics are always at three, five,
seven etc times the fundamental frequency.
Hence the cut-off frequency of the low pass filter
is somewhat fixed. The filter size is dictated by
the VA ratings of the inverter.
To reduce filter size, the PWM switching
scheme can be utilized.
In this technique, the harmonics are pushed to
higher frequencies. Thus the cut-off frequency of
the filter is increased. Hence the filter

SUMMARY
Have examined operation of inverters as
means of producing variable-frequency,
variable voltage AC source from DC supply
PWM provides amplitude control of the
fundamental output frequency although the
harmonics have large amplitudes, they occur at
high frequency and are filtered easily.
Considered voltage-sourced and currentsourced inverters which operate from DC
supplies which approximate constant voltage
