Principle of the full-wave command

In this course we show the way in which an inverter can create one ore more alternating voltage(s) by commuting the switches at the desired frequency for this voltages. We'll consider successively the cases of the single-phase inverter and the tri phased inverter.After having studied how to adjust the frequency, we indicate how to adjust the amplitude of the alternating voltage(s) produced.
