Abstract

This paper is regarding a project of the designation of a driving circuit using Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (lGBT) for a single phase inverter application. Literature reports a lot of papers on resonant switching power converters and their main drawbacks such as the variable driving frequency. In these paper, faster devices like IGBT is used at high frequencies {>20KHz) showing that good performances and efficiency can be easily obtained. As IGBT bas high switching frequency (>20kHz), it reduces power consumption and noise levels (sounds above 16kHz in frequency are practically inaudible to the human ear). In this project, microcontroller is used to generate Pulse Width Modulation signal for the inverter. The function of the microcontroller can be assigned by programming it using a programmer via a compiler to enable interface between software and hardware. The use of microcontroller or other application of software can help to save cost by mean that fewer electronic and power components are required. Besides, software based technology allows us to select Line Interactive (VI) technology to provide power from the mains to non-sensitive loads in certain circumstances where voltage tolerance and frequency tolerance can be set as required via programming. As a result, the output expected from the inverter is of alternating current square wave form.
