In three-level modulation

A)
the output voltage is zero in the first half cycle.
B)
the output voltage either zero or positive in the first half cycle.
C)
the output voltage either zero or negative in the first half cycle.
D)
the output voltage either zero, positive or negative in the first half cycle.

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   the output voltage either zero, positive or negative in the first half cycle.


Explanation : In stepped wave inverters, one of the inverters is so gated as to obtain a three level modulation.
