Current Source Inveter

Evocation

Introduction

In the Current source Inverter input current is constant but adjustable.The amplitude of output current from CSI is independent of the load. The magnitude of output voltage and its waveform output from CSI is dependent upon the nature of load impedance. The large inductance is series with voltage source is to maintain constant current and it maintain ripple free.
