Abstract
An inverter circuit which provides a synthesized sinusoidal output waveform having a low harmonic content. The inverter is light in weight, highly efficient and driven by a fundamental rectangular component having a frequency equal to the desired synthesized sinusoidal output frequency. Single-phase or three-phase output is provided.
Claims12
An inverter circuit for generating a synthesized sinusoidal output of a desired frequency comprising:
- means for generating a first, a second and a third fundamental rectangular waveform at a desired frequency wherein each of the first, the second and the third rectangular waveforms is out of phase with the other two by 120.degree.;
- means for generating notched rectangular waveforms for each of the first, the second and the third fundamental waveforms;
- a first means for combining the notched rectangular waveforms for each of the first, the second and the third fundamental waveforms to provide a single rectangular triplex waveform having a frequency equal to three times the frequency of the desired frequency;
- and
- a second means for combining the first fundamental rectangular waveform, the notched rectangular waveforms for the first fundamental waveform and the single triplex waveform to provide the synthesized sinusoidal output in phase with the first fundamental waveform.
