Equations C.9 and C.10 Switching Function of Single-phase Full-bridge Inverter

• Substituting A0, An, and Bn in Eq. (C.8)

yields

• If the input voltage, which is dc, is Vi(θ) =

Vs, Eq. (C.1) gives the output voltage as

Equations C.17 and C.18 Switching Function with SPWM

• Due to quarter-wave symmetry, Bn = A0 =

0. Substituting A0, An, and Bn in Eq. (C.15)
yields

• If the input voltage is Vi(θ) = Vs, Eqs.

(C.1) and (C.17) give the output voltage
as
