Design And Construction Of A 1.5Kva Hybrid Powered Modified Sinewave Modular Inverter Trainer Kit

ABSTRACT

A training device for instructing students in inverter circuits, which includes a large flat panel that is vertically disposed for visual display before the students, locations on the front surface of the panel for attachment of digital devices, `a number of digital-logic circuit devices having means for both mechanical and electrical connection to the panel, a power circuit associated with the panel for energizing the electronic devices, and circuit connections for making selected logical circuit interconnections between the digital-logic devices displayed on the panel.

This invention relates to trainers and more particularly is concerned with a trainer capable of displaying digital devices operatively connected in a circuit configuration which precisely duplicates the schematic diagram of the circuit under consideration.

The primary objective is to design an inexpensive, simple to use device that could be retained by students, so that they can undertake digital experimentation.

1.0                                                          INTRODUCTION

Power Electronics is one of a key subject of electrical engineering. Power electronics is of vital importance to understanding of control, conversion and conditioning of power in electrical industries. The power electronics laboratory is actively engaged to reinforce and enhance understanding of the fundamentals of semiconductor switches and power converters. This laboratory deal with practical realization of theory concept related with power electronics. The all experimental set-ups are designed and developed by the institute according to the standards. The power electronics laboratory is equipped with different converters setups like as rectifier, inverter, A.C voltage converter, DC-DC converter, Switching characteristics, BLDC drive and DC motor drive, where students can visualize the basics principles of different converters.

However, this work is focused on a modified sinewave inverter modular inverter kit which is a power device used in laboratory to understand the principle and behavior of single phase inverter which converter DC supply into AC supply. The trainer consists of power circuit of inverter, microcontroller based control circuit, power supply section, load section and protection circuit. All different types of control signals are generated using single control circuit by changing the program of individual switching pulse like square wave, QSW and SPWM. Separate CRO or digital signal oscilloscope is used to observe the behavior of the inverter.

1.1                                                   AIM OF THE PROJECT

The main aim of this work is to construct Power Electronic Training Board specifically used for the study of working of inverter. A Battery 12V 80AH (Any car battery) is required to operate this apparatus. Different test points have been provided to check wave shape and amplitude of pulses how DC supply is changed to AC supply.
