Single-phase half bridge inverter
with resistive load.
Principle Operation
The inverter circuit consists of two choppers.
When only Q1 is turned on for a time T/2,
the instantaneous voltage across
the load vo is Vdc. If Q2 only is turned on
for a time T/2 – T, -Vdc appears across the
load.
The control circuit should be designed such
that Q1 and Q2 are not turned on at the
same time.
Output Waveform

with inductive load.
