Abstract

A control system for poly-phase power inverters that uses feedback sensed voltages and currents to control the switching of solid state power switches in the inverter bridges, producing a nearly ideal sinewave voltage output regardless of load induced or switching harmonic voltages. The system operates in combination with the inverter power switches and switch drivers, particularly incorporating a digital programed optimal controller with virtually no delay in implementing the feedback control, and automatically correcting for any sensed line voltage distortions. The system inherently provides a high recovery speed for voltage transients.
