Abstract

Soft switching inverters differ significantly from hard switching PWM inverters in the areas of device behavior, modulation methods, design trade-offs, output spectra, and load performance. This paper outlines and discusses the foundations of these differences as well as presenting substantial new data to show the current status of resonant DC link inverters. This data covers performance issues such as efficiency, conducted EMI, output THD, suitability for operation with long motor cables, as well as device utilization and rating
