Power Electronics - PWM Inverters Part 2

This is the second in a two part overview of PWM inverters. We explore the operation of a bipolar double edge naturally sampled inverter using an H-bridge power switch topology and then look at unipolar (3-level) PWM inverters. An example with an inductive load is used to plot the current through the line and compare the differences. Below are some very good references if you would like to go into more details on PWM power inverters.
