94 EXPERIMENT 9. THREE-PHASE INVERTERS
Simulate three phase full bridge inverter with resistive and Inductive load. The power rating
of the load should be about 25 Watts/Phase. You should use opto-coupler while providing
gate pulses to power electronic switches for isolation of pulse source from power circuit (for
hardware circuit only). In hardware you are supposed to use either TLP250 or PC817. For the
six gate pulses, you are supposed to use a microcontroller (for hardware circuit only). Following
simulations are required:
• Three phase inverter with resistive and inductive Y-connected load with 180 degree square
wave operation.
• Three phase inverter with resistive and inductive Y-connected load with 180 degree and
PWM operation (Variable duty-cycle of PWM waveform).
• Three phase inverter with resistive and inductive Y-connected load with 120 degree square
wave operation (50 Hz output)
• Three phase inverter with resistive and inductive Y-connected load with Sinusoidal PWM
operation (controllable modulation index and frequency)
