Three phase inverter bridge

A Three-Phase Inverter Bridge is an essential power electronics


device used to convert DC (direct current) into three-phase AC
(alternating current). Its primary application is in industrial motor
drives, renewable energy systems, and power distribution. The
inverter is designed with six switching devices, such as insulated-gate
bipolar transistors (IGBTs) or metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect
transistors (MOSFETs), arranged in three pairs, each corresponding to
a phase: A, B, and C.

Three Phase Bridge Inverter | Circuit diagram and Working


Principle:
The basic three phase bridge inverter is a six-step inverter. A step is
defined as a change in the firing sequence. A 3-phase thyristor
bridge-inverter is shown in Fig. 11.49. Th1 to Th6 are the six load-
carrying thyristors while D1 to D6 are the free-wheeling diodes. Each
pair of thyristors in a branch (Th1 and Th4; Th2 and Th5; Th3 and Th6)
are gated for T/2 and are out-of-phase with each other, i.e. they are
never gated simultaneously. Th1, Th2 and Th3 are fired out-of-phase
progressively by 120° and so are Th4, Th5 and Th6. This is a must to
obtain three output voltages out-of-phase 120°.
The voltage waveforms for three phase-to-neutral voltages of the
three phase bridge Inverter of Fig. 11.49 can be easily drawn by this
procedure. It is immediately obvious that these voltages are out-of-
phase by 120°. The phase sequence can be reversed by simply
reversing the sequence of firing the thyristors. The line-to-line
voltages are found by taking the difference of phase voltages. The
waveform of vAB=vAN-vBN is illustrated in Fig. 11.50(d). It is also easily
seen that the fundamental components of line-to-line (or phase-to-
neutral) voltages form a balanced set. The free-wheeling diodes
permit currents to flow which are out-of-phase with these voltages.
