LOAD-SEGMENTATION-BASED FULL BRIDGE INVERTER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

摘要

Disclosed are a full bridge inverter and method for controlling same. The full bridge converter according to the present invention comprises: a plurality of first switches connected at one end thereof to a positive terminal for a direct current (DC) input voltage; a plurality of second switches connected at one end thereof to a negative terminal for a DC input voltage; and a plurality of loads connected at connection terminals formed by one-on-one connections of the opposite ends of each first switch to the opposite ends of each second switch. Thus, in cases requiring the selective application of voltages converted from DC to AC to the plurality of loads, the number of semiconductor devices can be minimized to reduce costs, and a reduction in load current can be prevented.
