4.2.1 Reality Of Kirchhof's Voltage Law fa) (b) ( Figure 4.8 (b): Generation of the switching signals for bottom devices (a) $12(b) ‘The square wave phase voltages with respect to the fictitious de center tap can be expressed using Fourier series as, * (4.36) (4.37) (438) ‘The line voltages can thus be obtained from the phase voltages as (4.39) (4.40) (41) The fundamental of the line voltages is V 3 times that of the phase voltage, and there is a leading phase-shift of .The line voltages waves as shown in Figure 4.9have a characteristic six- step wave shape and thus the name for this inverter. The characteristic harmonics in the waveform are Gné1,n being an integer.
