Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Power Electronics - Quiz(MCQ)
PWM switching is used in voltage source inverters for the purpose of
A)
Controlling input power
B)
Controlling input voltage
C)
Controlling output current
D)
Controlling output harmonics and output voltage.

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   Controlling output harmonics and output voltage.


Explanation : PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation. It is used in the voltage source inverter to control the output voltage and output harmonics.

It is a method of controlling the average power of a signal over a continuous range by switching it between on and off states.

It is a method of generating amplitude modulation. By increasing the number of pulses per half cycle, the order of harmonic frequency increases so that the filter's size is reduced.
