| 20080291707 | Universal AC high power inveter with galvanic isolation for linear and non-linear loads - A universal alternating current (AC) inverter system with galvanic isolation takes an unregulated direct current (DC) input and provides a high-quality AC output that may be used in conjunction with both linear and non-linear loads. The universal AC inverter system includes a DC-DC converter for converting an unregulated DC input to a regulated DC output, and a DC-AC inverter for converting the regulated DC output to a high-quality AC output. The DC-DC converter includes a DC link isolation high frequency transformer that provides galvanic isolation between the unregulated DC input and the AC output. To avoid saturation of the transformer, the controller for the DC-DC converter employs a DC offset correction loop that prevents accumulation of DC content on the primary side of the transformer. The universal AC inverter system includes a 4-phase inverter topology that converts the regulated DC voltage provided by the DC-DC converter to an AC output. An inverter controller employs a number of feedback loops that are used to control switches within the 4-phase inverter topology to provide a high-quality AC output voltage for both linear and non-linear loads, including a fast voltage control loop, a slow voltage control loop, a AC output capacitor current control loop, and a DC content control loop. | 11-27-2008 |
