  1. A single-phase full-bridge voltage source inverter feeds a purely inductive load, as shown in the given figure, where T1, T2, T3, T4 are power transistors and D1, D2, D3, D4 are feedback diodes. The inverter is operated in square-wave mode with a frequency of 50 Hz. If average load current is zero, what is the time duration of conduction of each feedback diode in a cycle?

  1. An ac induction motor is used for a speed control application. It is driven from an inverter with a constant V/f control. The motor name-plate details are as follows :
    V = 415 V, Ph = 3, f = 50 Hz, N = 2850 rpm
    The motor is run with the inverter output frequency set at 40 Hz, and with half the rated slip. The running speed of the motor is

    Given : Ns = 3000 rpm

    ∴ s =
    3000 - 2850
    =
    150
    = 0.05
    30003000

    Now , Ns = Ns
    40
    = 2400 rpm
    50

    ∴ Running speed of the motor, Nr = 1 -
    s
    . Ns' = (1 - 0.025) . 2400 = 2340 rpm
