Currents and Voltages in the Power Switches of Static Inverters

Static inverters are used in many applications where continuous voltage must be converted to alternating voltage, such as no break and emergency ac power supplies. Switching semiconductors are the usual means of producing the alternating voltage. Currents in the semiconductors and the dc source are of interest to both the designer and user of the inverter. Analytical means are used to derive quantitative expressions for current values of interest in a typical inverter circuit.
