How Duty Cycle, Frequency & Pulse Width Modulation is used for DC to AC conversion.
*Duty Cycle:*
This is the percentage of one cycle in which a signal or system is active.
In a pulse-width modulation (PWM) system, the duty cycle determines how long the "on" state lasts compared to the total period of the cycle.
Adjusting the duty cycle allows inverters to control the average output voltage.
*Pulse Width:*
This is the duration of time the pulse remains active during each cycle.
Changing the pulse width directly influences the duty cycle and therefore the output voltage and waveform shape.
*Frequency:*
This is how often the pulse cycles repeat in a second, typically measured in Hertz (Hz).
In inverters, controlling the frequency is essential for matching the output to the frequency required by devices or the electrical grid (e.g., 50 or 60 Hz).
*Inverters and H-Bridge Circuits:*
An inverter is a device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).
Inverters achieve efficient conversion using H-bridge circuits, which are commonly used in power electronics for generating AC output from DC.
An H-bridge consists of transistors or other switching components arranged in a bridge configuration that can change the direction of current flow, creating an AC-like output.
*Pure Sine Wave Inverters:*
Pure sine wave inverters produce a smooth, sinusoidal AC output, making them ideal for sensitive electronics.
These inverters achieve a pure sine wave by using digital signal processing (DSP) to control the duty cycle, pulse width, and frequency precisely.
DSP is a method where digital algorithms are applied to generate waveforms that closely mimic a pure sine wave, reducing harmonic distortion and increasing compatibility with AC-powered devices.
