 Inverter
• An inverter refers to a power electronic device that converts
power in DC form to AC form at the required frequency and
voltage output.
Types
• Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) − The voltage source
inverter has stiff DC source voltage that is the DC voltage
has limited or zero impedance at the inverter input
terminals.
• Current Source Inverter (CSI) − A current source inverter
is supplied with a variable current from a DC source that has
high impedance. The resulting current waves are not
influenced by the load.

 120° mode of conduction
• Each electronic device is in a conduction state for 120°.
It is most suitable for a delta connection in a load
• At any instant only two devices are conducting because
each device conducts at only 120°.
• The terminal A on the load is connected to the positive
end while the terminal B is connected to the negative
end of the source. The terminal C on the load is in a
condition called floating state.
• Phase voltages = Line voltages
• VAB = V VBC = −V/2 VCA = −V/2
