Inverters-Sheet 2
1. A full-bridge inverter has a switching sequence that produces a square wave voltage
across a series RL load. The switching frequency is 50 Hz, V dc = 100 V, R = 10Ω,
and L = 25 mH. Determine (a) an expression for load current, (b) the power
absorbed by the load, and (c) the average current of the dc source.

2. Resolve prob.1 if the load is changed: (1-R=10 Ω L=5 mH) (2-L=25 mH)

3. For the inverter in prob. 1, determine the amplitudes of the Fourier series terms for
the square wave load voltage, the amplitudes of the Fourier series terms for load
current, and the power absorbed by the load. Determine the total harmonic
distortion of the load voltage and the load current for the square-wave inverter.
Compare with the previously obtained results. Sketch the load current and indicate
the time intervals when each switch component (Q1, D1; . . . Q4, D4) is conducting.

4. A single pulse width modulated inverter is used to supply an RL series load with R
= 10Ω and L = 35 mH. The DC input voltage is 220 V and the output frequency is
50 Hz. (a) Determine the rms value of the fundamental frequency of the load current
when α = 0. (b) If the output fundamental frequency is lowered to 25 Hz, determine
the value of α required to keep the rms current at the fundamental frequency at the
same value of part (a).

5. For a multilevel inverter having three separate dc sources of 48 V each, α1 = 15,


α2 = 25, and α3 = 55. (a) Sketch the output voltage waveform. (b) Determine the
Fourier coefficients through n = 9. (c) Determine the modulation index Mi. (d) Draw
the supply currents (each supply current on a separate graph), then calculate the
average supply current for each supply.

6. If the concept of the two-source multilevel inverters is extended to have three


independent sources and H bridges and three delay angles α1, α2 and α3. Sketch the
voltages at the output of each bridge of a three-source multilevel converter such
that the average power from each source is the same.

7. Design an inverter that has a PWM output across an RL series load with R = 10 Ω
and L = 20 mH. The fundamental frequency of the output voltage must be 220 Vrms
at 50 Hz, and the total harmonic distortion of the load current must be less than 8

percent. Specify the dc input voltage, the amplitude modulation ratio ma, and the
switching frequency (carrier frequency).

8. A six-step three-phase inverter has a 250 V dc source and an output frequency of


50 Hz. A balanced Y- connected load consists of a series 25 Ω resistance and 20
mH inductance in each phase. Determine (a) the rms value of the 50-Hz component
of load current and (b) the THD of the load current.
