Abstract :
This paper presents a study of determining the optimum operating parameters of a unipolar PWM inverter. Variations on the input voltage level and switching frequency will be investigated to see their impacts on the operation of the inverter and harmonics produced. Results through experimental approach show that careful selections of inverter parameters yield inverter´s operation with highest efficiency and lowest distortion.
