Inverter

 Inverter is defined as an Electrical device which converts the Direct current source into the Alternating current source.

 The main source of electrical power is the battery which is a DC source. The DC output of the battery is bucked or boosted according to the

requirement and then converted into AC using a DC-AC inverter. The function of an inverter is to change a dc input voltage to a symmetric ac output

voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. The output voltage waveforms of ideal inverters should be sinusoidal. However, the waveforms of

practical inverters are non-sinusoidal and contain certain harmonics.

 The input of the inverter is a fixed DC voltage which is nominally obtained from the batteries and the output of the inverter is generally a fixed or a

variable frequency Alternating voltage, the AC voltage magnitude is also variable.

Single phase Inverter

 A Single-phase inverter converts a DC input into a AC output.

 In the following three phase inverter circuit process the three single phase inverters put across the same DC source. The pole voltages in a three

phase inverter are equal to the pole voltages in single phase half bridge inverter.

 Three phase inverters can be operated in to two different types of modes of conduction, i.e. 120 degree conduction mode and 180 degree conduction

mode.

Conclusion
 Here in the circuit, Single phase inverter is taken and operated in voltage source mode.

 Thus the single phase inverter with the Resistance and the inductance load connection is implemented using the Activate tool.
