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.
