In a full bridge VSI, in order to avoid the short circuit across the DC bus and the undefined AC output voltage condition, the modulating technique should ensure that___________?

Correct answer: C. Either A. or B.

  • A. Top switch of each leg is on at any instant
  • B. Bottom switch of each leg is on at any instant
  • C. Either A. or B.
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Each inverter leg must always have exactly one device conducting, with the upper and lower switches operated complementarily, including dead time. This prevents both switches in a leg from shorting the DC bus and avoids an undefined leg output.
