Abstract

Many single-phase full bridge inverter, are well developed and covered up in most of electric markets. They are used in many applications in power systems and machine drives. However, although the components used for constructing such inverter are sufficiently cheap, the market sales for a package of inverters with a desired load, such as drives are considered rigorously high prices. Furthermore, in Curtin Sarawak campus laboratories are empty from separate parts of inverters. It is required to fulfill the need of Lab equipment’s for power section. The aims of this project are designing the suitable inverters for the Lab experiments, in similar way that can be found in the market. The parameters identification is established to meet the wanted specifications of the size and power, and to obtain, as much as possible, a selected ac signal which can perform different frequency levels, with less ripple, harmonics, and high efficiency. Simulation is the start step of this project using PSIM and following by arranging the components of the switches in the ways that obey different voltage waveform of PWM with modulated signal in the bridge for single phase, making use of suitable filter, or by fictitious filter. Once establishing the wanted response and recording the specifications of the components, the second step begins to implement the inverter, as far as the availability of the equipment’s is concern.
