5.1 GENERAL
These inverters convert DC battery voltage to AC voltage with an RMS (Root Mean
Square) value of 230 VAC, 50 Hz RMS.
5.2 PURE SINE WAVE OUTPUT WAVEFORM
The waveform of the AC voltage is a pure Sine Waveform that is same as the waveform
of Grid / Utility power (Supplementary information on pure Sine Waveform and its
advantages are discussed in Sections 2.2 to 2.4).
fig. 5.1 below
instantaneous value and polarity of the voltage varies cyclically with respect to time. For
example, in one cycle in a 230 VAC, 50 Hz system, it slowly rises in the Positive direction
from 0V to a peak Positive value "Vpeak" = + 325V, s;owly drops to 0V, changes the
polarity to Negative direction and slowly increases in the Negative direction to a peak
Negative value "Vpeak" = - 325V and then slowly drops back to 0V. There are 50 such
cycles in 1 sec. Cycles per second is called the "frequency" and is also termed "Hertz (Hz)".
The Time Period of 1 Cycle is 16.66 ms.

5.3 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The voltage conversion takes place in two stages. In the
of the battery is converted to a high voltage DC using high frequency switching and
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique. In the second stage, the high voltage DC is
converted to 230 VAC, 50 Hz sine wave AC again using PWM technique. This is done by
using a special wave shaping technique where the high voltage DC is switched at a high
frequency and the pulse width of this switching is modulated with respect to a refer-
ence sine wave.
