General description: An inverter is a power electronic device, used to change the
power from DC to AC at the necessary frequency & voltage output. The VSI type
inverter has a DC input voltage source with less impedance at the input terminals of
an inverter. A single-phase inverter is used to change the DC voltage to AC supply.
There are two types of single-phase inverters − full bridge inverter and half bridge
inverter.
Half Bridge Inverter:
This type of inverter is the basic building block of a full bridge inverter. It contains
two switches and each of its capacitors has a voltage output equal to half of input
voltage. In addition, the switches complement each other, that is, if one is switched
ON the other one goes OFF.
Full Bridge Inverter:

This inverter circuit converts DC to AC. It achieves this by closing and opening the
switches in the right sequence. It has four different operating states which are based
on which switches are closed.
Working Principle: Single-phase full-bridge inverters are used, as already

mentioned, to transform direct current into alternating current. In this circuit, the
electronic switches operate in pairs, and in one half-wave, only S1 and S2 are closed,
while in the other half-wave, S3 and S4 are closed. The output of the inverter is an
alternating voltage of variable frequency and dependent on the frequency of the
waveforms driving the devices. Figure 1 shows the general operation diagram of this
inverter. In practice, the electronic switches in part “a” of the circuit are controlled
complementarily to the electronic switches in part “b”. The switches are, in this case,
ideal devices. The two signals are modulated with equal and opposite reference
voltages. Typically, the same electrical carrier is used for the two driving signals.

RMS voltage at output terminal of inverter is given by: V rms = Vdc

To summarize;
For the time 0<t≤(T/2), thyristors T1 & T2 conducts and load voltage Vo = Vs.
For the time (T/2)<t≤T, thyristors T3 & T4 conducts and load voltage Vo = -Vs.

3. Apply 12-volt dc across the control circuit power terminals.
4. Select the mode of operation for the inverter.
5. Check the gate pulses across the switches.
6. Now, switch ON the inverter DC input supply and gradually increase the
voltage level.
7. Note the corresponding output parameter i.e., output current and output
voltage.
8. Sketch the gate pulse waveform, input and output parameters.

Precaution:
1. Check the connection properly before switching ON the power supply.
2. Before connecting power supply, make sure the voltage level is set to zero.
3. Do not apply sudden voltage across the input supply terminals.
4. Make sure you apply the prescribed voltage to the control circuit and power
circuit.
5. Use isolated probe to calculate output voltage to avoid common grounding
problem.
