The advantages possessed by PWM technique are as under :
(i)
The output voltage control with this method can be obtained
without any additional components.
(ii) With this method lower order harmonics can be eliminated or minimised along with its output voltage
control. As higher order harmonics can be filtered easily, the filtering requirements are minimised.
9. (b)
The converter circuits which employ zero voltage and/or zero current switching are called resonant converters.
These converters are basically used to reduce the switching losses.

10. (c)
A dual converter with circulating current mode is preferred if load current is to be reversed quite frequently
and a fast response is desired in the four quadrant operation of the dual converter.
11. (a)
Approximately, the slip may be neglected, with the output inverter frequency related to synchronous speed.
