Inverters - Concept
Definition: Converts DC-AC power by switching the DC
input voltage (or current) in a pre-determined
sequences so as to generate AC voltage (or current)
output.
Typical applications:
- Unirruptable power supply (UPS), industrial induction
motor, running ac appliances from an automobile
battery, etc.
General block diagram:
Full-Bridge Converter
Basic circuit to convert dc to ac
ac output is synthesized from a dc input by closing
& opening switches in appropriate sequences

Filtering
Output inverter is chopped AC voltage with zero
DC component. In some applications such as
UPS, high purity sine wave output is required.
An LC section of low pass filter is normally fitted
at the inverter output to reduce the high
frequency harmonics.
In some applications such as AC motor drive,
filtering is not required.
Half-Bridge inverter
The number of switches is 2, by dividing the dc
source voltage into 2 parts with capacitors.
Capacitors are same in value, voltage Vs/2 =
Vdc/2
