A 3 - ϕ voltage source inverter is operated in 180° conduction mode. Which one of the following statements is true?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Line voltage is given by

A three phase voltage source inverter is operated in 180° mode. In that case third harmonics are absent in line voltage due to the factor 

Where k = 0, 1 ,2,....

For n = 3, Vp ≠ 0

∴ Vp is not free from third harmonics

Hence pole voltage will have 3rd harmonic component but line voltage will be free from 3rd harmonic.

Detailed Solution: Question 7

180-degree conduction with star connected resistive load:

The configuration of the three-phase inverter with star connected resistive load as shown in the figure. The following convention is followed.

  • A current leaving a node point a, b or c and entering the neutral point n is assumed to be positive.
  • All the three resistances are equal, Ra = Rb = Rc = R

In this mode of operation, each switch conducts for 180°. Hence at any instant of time three switches remain on. There are six possible modes of operation in a cycle and each mode is of 60° duration and the explanation of each mode is as follows:

For the waveform (as shown below), which of the options is true?

Detailed Solution: Question 8

For 180° conduction mode:

  • Line voltage remains Vdc for 120°
  • Phase voltage remains  for each 60°

For 120° conduction mode:

  • Phase voltage remains  for 120°
  • Line voltage remains  for 60° 


Hence, the given waveform represents the load phase voltage when the inverter is operating in 180° conduction mode.
