25.1 Introduction and Overview
Inverters are used to create single or poly-phase AC voltages from a DC supply. The DC supply is typically created by rectification of AC voltage from the utility power grid with due consideration of harmonics and input power factor. In the class of poly-phase inverters, three-phase inverters are by far the largest group. A very large number of inverters are used for adjustable speed motor drives for motors ranging from fractional hp (horsepower) to several 100 ...
