9 SINGLE PHASE BRIDGE INVERTER

Aim of the experiment:
To study single-phase full bridge inverter.
Theory:
Figure 71: Single phase full Bridge Inverter
A single phase bridge DC-AC inverter is shown in Figure 71. The analysis of the single phase DC-AC
inverters is done taking into account following assumptions and conventions. The current entering node is
considered to be positive. The switches S1, S2, S3 and S4 are unidirectional, i.e. they conduct current in one
direction. When the switches S1 and S2 are turned on simultaneously for a duration 0 ≤ t ≤ T1 , the input voltage
Vin appears across the load and the current flows from point a to b.
Q1 – Q2 ON, Q3 – Q4 OFF ⇒ Vo= Vs
If the switches S3 and S4 turned on duration T1 ≤ t ≤ T2, the voltage across the load the load is reversed and the
current through the load flows from point b to a.
Q1 – Q2 OFF, Q3 – Q4 ON ⇒ Vo = -Vs

Simulation results:

Figure 76: Waveforms of multiple pulse Single phase full Bridge Inverter
Conclusion:
The single phase inverter was simulated and duty cycle was varied for pair of switches and the experiment was
successfully verified. Following observations were made from the experiment:
 The pair of switches conducting at same point should be given gate signal simultaneously.
 The output voltage was a square wave, which is similar to the theoretical one.
 The output voltage waveform varies with variation of the duty cycle, but the switches are needed to be
triggered instantly after closing of the other pair.

EXPT. 10 THREE PHASE VOLTAGE SOURCE INVERTER
Aim of the experiment:
To study three phase voltage source inverter.
Theory:
Three phase inverters are normally used for high power applications. The advantages of a three phase
inverter are; The frequency of the output voltage waveform depends on the switching rate of the swtiches and hence
can be varied over a wide range. The direction of rotation of the motor can be reversed by changing the output phase
sequence of the inverter. The ac output voltage can be controlled by varying the dc link voltage.
The general configuration of a three phase DC-AC inverter is shown in Figure. Two types of control signals can be
applied to the switches:
• 180° conduction
• 120° conduction
Figure 77: Three phase Voltage Source Inverter
180° mode of conduction:

In this mode of conduction, every device is in conduction state for 180° where they are switched ON at 60°
intervals. The terminals A, B and C are the output terminals of the bridge that are connected to the three-phase
delta or star connection of the load.
The operation of a balanced star connected load is explained in the diagram below. For the period 0° − 60° the
points S1, S5 and S6 are in conduction mode. The terminals A and C of the load are connected to the source at its
positive point. The terminal B is connected to the source at its negative point. In addition, resistances R/2 is
between the neutral and the positive end while resistance R is between the neutral and the negative terminal.
120° mode of conduction
In this mode of conduction, each electronic device is in a conduction state for 120°. It is most suitable for a delta
connection in a load because it results in a six-step type of waveform across any of its phases. Therefore, at any
instant only two devices are conducting because each device conducts at only 120°.
The terminal A on the load is connected to the positive end while the terminal B is connected to the negative end of
the source. The terminal C on the load is in a condition called floating state.

R=10 and L= 1H for 1200 conduction and 10mH for 1800 conduction

Conclusion:
The 3-phase Voltage Source Inverter was simulated for different modes of conduction i.e. 120 0 and 1800 mode of
conduction and the experiment was successfully verified. Following observations were made from the experiment:
 For both 1200 and 1800 mode of conduction, the simulated output voltage was found exactly equal in
magnitude as well as shape with the theoretical waveform.
 Source capacitor requires a series resistance as it is a pure capacitor which will act as a source.
