This paper describes a 3-Phase Quasi-Resonant DC Link Inverter (3-phase QRI), which has two operating modes, ie. inverting mode and rectifying mode. First the 3-Phase QRI is simplified and the resonant circuit is analyzed in comparison with two resonant DC-to-DC converters. This analysis shows that the maximum voltage of resonant capacitor is limited to twice the input voltage irrespective of operating modes. A new simple control method in rectifying mode is suggested, which does not require any other element in power circuit. The characteristic of 3-Phase Quasi Resonant Inverter has been verified by simulation using the proposed control method.

This paper presents a new zero current switching (ZCS) inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic single phase inverter system. The auxiliaey circuit for the soft-switching consists of two resonant inductors and two resonant capacitors as well as two auxiliary switches rated at lower power. The proposed circuit provides zero current switching condition for all the switches, which reduces switching losses significantly. It is controlled to extract maximum power from the solar array and to provide sinusoidal current into the mains. The validity of the proposed system is verified by experimental results from the 1.2kW prototype inverter operating at 40kHz.

A conventional power supply to drive a microwave oven has ferro-resonant transformer and high voltage capacitor(HVC). Though it is simple, transformer is bulky, heavy and has low-efficiency. To improve this defect, a high frequency inverter type power supply has been investigated and developed in recent years. But, because of additional control circuit and switching device, inverter-type power supply is more expensive than conventional one. In this study, The design procedure of a novel HVC embedded high frequency transformer is proposed for down-sizing and cost reduction of Inverter-type power supply. Also, equivalent circuit mode] is derived by FEM analysis and impedance measurements. And the operation of proposed HVC embedded transformer is verified by simulations and experimental results.

A high frequency resonant inverter consisting of three unit half-bridge serial resonant inverter used as power source of induction heating at high frequency is presented in this paper. As a output power control strategy, tine-sharing gate control method is applied. The analysis of the proposed circuit is generally described by using the normalized parameters. Also, according to the calculated characteristics value, a method of the circuit design and operating characteristics of the inverter is proposed. This paper proves the validity of theoretical analysis through the experiment. This proposed inverter show that it can be practically used in future as power source system for induction heating application, DC-DC converter etc.

The output characteristics of VSI by transistor depend upon bias signal with drive circuit. As the CTI is one of the VSI, takes case PWM output voltage. This Inverter operation is based upon position and negative of sinusoldal PWM signal by carrier triangular wave and compared sine one. Besides, the Inverter operation system required digital signal for microprocessor, sampling method of Inverter driver signals study for get rid of generated signal is error. In the paper, the method of 3 level PWM signal for CTI was studied. This method of signals depend upon caculated switching position of natural sampling with $10^{-6}$ modulation error for time flowchart programs.
