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.

$$V_a=V_{dc}\times \left(D_a-D_{a\text{'}}\right)$$

$$V_b=V_{dc}\times \left(D_b-D_{b\text{'}}\right)$$

$$V_c=V_{dc}\times \left(D_c-D_{c\text{'}}\right)$$

where:

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

• $$V_a$$, $$V_b$$, and $$V_c$$ are the output three-phase trapezoidal voltages (volts).

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