Experiment Name: Study of performance of single phase Single PWM inverter with R and R-L load
Objective: To study the waveforms of single phase Single PWM inverter with R and R-L loadby PSIM
Simulation.

Theory: The single phase inverter with Single PWM has each switch conducting for M*180 in a cycle and the
o

pair of switches (IGBT1, IGBT2) & (IGBT3, IGBT4) are turned on at 180 interval.

The Modulation Index is given by M<1 and the output RMS voltage for R load is given by:
V =M *V where V =output rms volts, V =input dc volts. The output current is scalar multiple of the voltage.
