A capacitive load in voltage source inverters generates ________________?

Correct answer: D. Large current spikes and can be reduced by using an inductive filter

  • A. Small current spikes and can be reduced by using an inductive filter
  • B. Large current spikes and can be increased by using an inductive filter
  • C. Small current spikes and can be increased by using an inductive filter
  • D. Large current spikes and can be reduced by using an inductive filter

Explanation

A capacitive load can draw a large impulsive current when the inverter voltage changes rapidly. An inductive filter limits the rate of current change and reduces these spikes.
