Full-Bridge Inverter

Circuit and Waveform diagram, Operation

The number of SCR's and diodes is twice of the count of the half-bridge inverter.

FULL-BRIDGE INVERTER

The figure below represents the circuit diagram of a single-phase full-bridge inverter:

Figure shows the four SCR's and four diodes in the configuration. the number of SCR's and diodes is twice of the count of the half-bridge inverter.


The circuit operation takes place for a time duration between 0 to T/2, SCR's T1 and T2 are triggered by gate pulse thus the two conduct and the load voltage will be V i.e., equivalent to the supply input. While for time instant between T/2 to T, SCR's T3 and T4 begin to conduct as gate pulse is removed from T1 and T2 and provided to T3 and T4 at instant T/2.

The waveform representation is shown below:


The operation is similar to that of a half-bridge inverter but the difference here is that the amplitude of output voltage is double in this case
