- Two conversion stages are required. Hence, efficiency of the system is better than
the previous system
- Input power factor is poor at low output voltages
- Output of the controlled rectifier contains appreciable amount of low-frequency
harmonics
- Large size filter components are required.
- This makes the system response sluggish
Voltage Control of Inverter
Control of Input DC Voltage
If the basic source is ac, variable dc voltage may be obtained using any of the schemes shown
in Fig. b-d.
The output of the inverter is in the form of a pulse width modulated wave.
Controlling the width of output pulses, controls the output voltage.
This method not only provides variable output voltage but also eliminates certain
low frequency harmonics, which are responsible for poor performance.
This method is therefore, the most popular method of voltage control of inverter.

- Like bipolar switching schemes, the fundamental component has a peak value equal to M times the source
voltage. This is true for all values of M < 1.
- The significant harmonics occur around 2mf, 4mf , 6mf and so on..
- The advantages of unipolar switching scheme over the bipolar switching scheme are
(i) harmonics are reduced
(ii) the frequencies of the harmonics are doubled. This results in reduction in lower order harmonics.
