Abstract

Several techniques have been developed to control alternating current (AC) power. In this paper we put forward, a novel technique to design and implement a single phase PWM inverter using simple 8051 microcontroller rather than using digital signal processor (DSP) controllers . The main features of 8051 based PWM inverter are simpler design, low cost, maximum range of voltage control and compact in size. The designed PWM inverter is tested on various AC loads like AC motor and intensity control of incandescent lamp in a closed loop environment.
