Description

The BLDC Average-Value Inverter block models an average-value and full-wave inverter. It computes the three-phase trapezoidal voltage output from the inverter DC voltage by using the six duty cycles corresponding to six inverter switches.

Equations

These equations describe how the block computes the three-phase AC voltage.

Va=Vdc×(Da−Da')

Vb=Vdc×(Db−Db')

Vc=Vdc×(Dc−Dc')

where:

  • Da, Db, Dc, Da', Db', and Dc' are the duty cycles (ranging between 0 and 1) corresponding to the six switches of the inverter (shown in the figure).

  • Va, Vb, and Vc are the output three-phase trapezoidal voltages (volts).

  • Vdc is the DC bus voltage of the inverter (volts).
