The document discusses three phase inverters and total harmonic distortion. It contains the following key points:
1. Total harmonic distortion is a ratio that measures the amount of unwanted harmonics present in a signal compared to the fundamental frequency. Lower THD is preferred.
2. A three phase inverter topology uses three half-bridge inverters to generate the three phase voltages. Each half-bridge can be viewed as an independent voltage source.
3. Three phase inverters are commonly used for motor drives to maintain a constant magnetic flux in the motor. Current control loops are used to control the motor drive system.

READ Chapter 8 Power Electronics Converters, Application and Design Total Harmonic Distortion
Total harmonic distortion is the ratio of the components of
harmonics over the fundamental frequency
Pure sine has only 1 fundamental component without harmonics
Ideally, we want only the fundamental component of the Fourier.
A sine with good purity has less than 5% THD Total Harmonic Distortion Remember from previous lecture, any symmetrical waveform can be represented by sum of sine of different frequency (multiple of fundamental)
In the case of AC grid, we only want the
fundamental frequency (50Hz). All the other harmonics is unwanted. These harmonics contribute to large THD Three Phase Inverter
• Three inverter legs; capacitor mid-point is fictitious.
•For easy understanding, each half bridge is seen as independent voltage source. In mohan textbook (Fig above) neutral is labelled at the negative of voltage source not midpoint. In the lecture slide however, we label the o as neutral for easier understanding SPWM Three Phase Modulation Three Phase Inverter WYE LOAD Va Vb Vc

This topology is not used because it requires too
much switches (twelve). Advantage is double voltage compared to half bridge: Va = d a Vs Can be visualized as Vb = d b Vs Vc = d c Vs Va Where da, db, dc (-1 to 1) is the normalized duty cycle for each bridge. Vs is the N constant DC. Require a smaller DC link voltage. Each bridge can be imagined as Vb independent voltage source relative to neutral point Vc Three Phase Inverter • Mainly used for motor drive because motor require three phase • We will cover more on three phase inverter Block diagram during motor drive classes and motor drive assignment 2 • Motor drive is to maintain a constant flux at the motor air gap through current control
