Because of the half-cycle symmetry of the waveform of Fig. 4, only odd order harmonics exist.
Also, it is easy to see that the Fourier Cosine coefficients disappear with the choice of coordinate
axes used. Utilizing the quarter cycle symmetry, the Fourier Sine coefficients become:
(3)
Substituting the two-valued pwm waveform for , one obtains (see Fig. 4):
(4)
The following example illustrates the use of three chops per quarter cycle which allow for three
degrees of freedom. We may use these to eliminate two harmonics and control the magnitude of
the fundamental to any desired value:
Example:
Selective Harmonic Elimination is applied with a view to controlling the fundamental component
of voltage to 50V (rms) and eliminating the 3rd and 5th harmonics. The source voltage is 100 V.
Calculate the required chopping angles.
As three objectives are to be achieved, we need 3 chops. The fundamental, 3rd and 5th harmonic
magnitudes are given by:
