Transcript H-Bridge inverter circuit class notes

EE462L, Spring 2014
H-Bridge Inverter
(partially pre-fall 2009 version)
1
To minimize your time and produce an inverter that works properly, it
is very important that you follow the procedure in the lab document
LC output filter
(100µH, 10µF)
Fuseholders and 10A fuses for
DC input not shown in this photo
10µF input ripple
current capacitor
across DC input

!
Simultaneously View VGS for A+ and A−
(use both scope ground leads)
Asymmetrical firing circuit produces slow
turn on, fast turn off, to provide blanking
blanking time to
eliminate overlap

Multimeter check of VGS for
A+ and A–. Expect about
4.0Vdc.

You must avoid overlap in “on” times

Once the H-Bridge is wired, you cannot simultaneously view VDS
of A+ and A− (or B+ and B−) on the scope because their source
nodes are not the same
