The document describes a single-phase half-bridge inverter. It consists of a DC voltage source connected to two switches and parallel diodes. When one switch is on and the other off, the output voltage is half the DC voltage with current flowing through the load. When the switches change state, the output voltage inverts. The output is a square wave that alternates between half the DC voltage and its negative value, allowing conversion of DC to AC power with a variable frequency.

4.1 Single Phase Inverter

The inverter is a power electronic converter that converts


direct power to alternating power.

❖ By using this inverter device, we can convert fixed dc into variable


ac power which as a variable frequency and voltage.

❖ Secondly from this inverter, we can vary the frequency i.e we will
be able to generate the 40HZ, 50HZ, 60HZ frequencies as of our
requirement.

❖ If the dc input is a voltage source then the inverter is known as


VSI (Voltage Source Inverter).

❖ The bridge inverters are of two types they are half-bridge inverter
and full-bridge inverter.

❖ The full bridge inverters need four switching devices whereas half-
bridge inverter needs two switching devices.

❖ Vs/2 is the voltage source, S1 and S2 are the two switches, i0 is the
current. Where each switch is connected to diodes D1 and D2
parallelly.

❖ In the above figure 4, the switches S1 and S2 are the self-commutating


switches.The switch S1 will conduct when the voltage is positive and
current is negative, switch S2 will conduct when the voltage is negative,
and the current is negative. The diode D1 will conduct when the
voltage is positive and current is negative, diode D2 will conduct when
the voltage is negative, and the current is positive.

Case 1 (when switch S1 is ON and S2 is OFF):

• When switch S1 is ON from a time period of 0 to T/2, the diode D1 and


D2 are in reverse bias condition and S2 switch is OFF.

• Where output voltage V0= Vs/2

• Where output current i0 = V0/R= Vs/2R

• In case of supply current or switch current, the current iS1 = i0 =


Vs/2R, iS2 = 0 and the diode current iD1 = iD2 = 0.

• Case 2 (when switch S2 is ON and S1 is OFF):

• When switch S2 is ON from a time period of T/2 to T, the diode D1


and D2 are in reverse bias condition and S1 switch is OFF.

• Applying KVL (Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law)Vs/2+V0=0

• Where output voltage V0= -Vs/2

• Where output current i0 = V0/R= -Vs/2R
