ABSTRACT:
The hybrid inverter consists of thyristor switches with their related commutation circuit, paralleled by transistor switches. When the current magnitude is below a predetermined level, it is conducted by the transistor switches and when above the predetermined level, it is conducted by the thyristor switches. The commutation circuit includes a capacitor which need not be precharged to initiate commutation. Thus, the commutation circuit works only when a thyristor is conducting current thereby substantially reducing the number of commutations in an output cycle.
