• An Inverter is basically a converter that converts DC-AC
power.
• The word “inverter” in the context of power electronics
denotes a class of power conversion circuits that
operates from a dc voltage source or a dc current source
and converts it into ac voltage or current.
• The primary source of input power may be utility ac
voltage supply that is converted, to dc by an ac to dc
converter and then inverted back to ac using an inverter.
• The final output may be of a different frequency and
magnitude than the input ac of the utility supply.
• Typical Applications such as Un-interruptible Power
Supply (UPS), Industrial (induction motor) drives,
Traction, HVDC.
Self oscillating and driven inverter
Transistor inverters can either be self oscillating, or driven by a
separate oscillator. In the self oscillating type, the transformer
itself provides the positive feedback required to cause
oscillation. However, loading and transformer design will affect
operation to a certain degree. Where frequency stability is
important, the inverter requires a separate oscillator to drive
the switching transistors.
Classification of driven inverter
• Voltage-source inverter (VSI) or Voltage-fed inverters
(VFI)
– Stiff dc voltage source at the input (A stiff voltage
source reliably produces the intended voltage as load currents
change.)
• Current-source inverter (CSI) or Current-fed inverter (CFI)
– Stiff dc current source at the input (A “stiff” current is
a current source with a very high (or
infinite) source impedance. In other words,
the current decreases very little (or not at all) as
the voltage increases.)
Single Phase VSI
• Single phase half-bridge inverter
Working Principle

Drawback: 3-wire DC supply


Single Phase VSI
• Single phase full-bridge inverter
Working Principle
CSI and VSI brief comparison
• In VSI, input voltage is maintained constant and the
amplitude of the output voltage does not depend upon the
load.
• Waveform of load current and its magnitude depends upon
the nature of the load impedance (R,RL etc.).
• In CSI, input current is constant but adjustable.
• The amplitude of output current from CSI is independent of
the load.
• However, the magnitude of output voltage and its
waveform output from CSI is dependent upon the nature of
the load.
• A CSI does not require feedback diodes, whereas these are
required in VSI.
CSI: Converts input DC current to output AC
current
• The DC input to CSI is obtained from a fixed
voltage AC source, through a controlled
rectifier bridge, or through a diode bridge and
a chopper.
• To make current input to CSI almost ripple
free, L-filter is used before CSI.
