Figure 1.4 shows the full bridge inverter circuit. It use to convert DC power to AC power at certain desired frequency. Two different type of load will be use in this experiment will be use to distinguish the performance of inverter in term of it total harmonic distortion of output voltage and current. The load will be use in this experiment are R load (686 ) and RL load (R = 686, L = 0.8H). Connect the inverter with 240VDC source and set the triggering signal of the power MOSFET so that the output frequency of the inverter is 60 Hz. Record the rms for output voltage and current, sketch the output voltage and current waveform for both different type of load and calculate the total harmonic distortion for both output voltage and current for both type of load. 4VDC cos( n ) 2 n 4VDC 1 = 2 n R 2 + ( L ) 2
