Difference between Inverters VSI vs CSI

VSI (Voltage Source Inverter)CSI (Current Source Inverter)
1. In voltage source inverter input voltage is kept constant.1. In current source inverter input current is kept constant.
2. VSI is fed from a DC voltage source having small or negligible impedance.2. CSI is fed with adjustable current source from a DC voltage source of high impedance.
3. DC source in parallel with large capacitor.3. VSI can be converted into CSI, By connecting large series inductance.
4.Input voltage is maintained constant.4. The input current is constant but adjustable.
5. An output voltage is independent of load.5. An output current is independent of load
6. The waveform of the load current as well as its magnitude depends upon the nature of load impedance.6. The magnitude of output voltage and its waveform depends upon the nature of the load impedance.
7. VSI has slow response than CSI. 7. CSI has fast response than VSI.
8. VSI requires feedback diodes8. The CSI does not require any feedback diodes.
9. The commutation circuit is complicated. It uses current commutation.9. Commutation circuit is simple as it contains only capacitors. It uses voltage commutation.
10. Power BJT, Power MOSFET, IGBT with self commutation can be used in the circuit.10. Thyristors are Used.
11. In VSI diodes are connected in parallel.11. In CSI diodes are connected in series.
12. PWM technique is used.12. PWM technique is not used.

Using MOSFET Body Diodes to Charge Battery in Inverters

  Using MOSFET Body Diodes to Charge Battery in Inverters In this post we try to understand how the internal body diodes of MOSFETs could be exploited for enabling the charging of battery through the same transformer which is being used as the inverter transformer. In this article we will investigate a full bridge inverter concept and learn how the in-built diodes of its 4 MOSFETs could be applied for charging an attached battery. What is a Full Bridge or H-Bridge Inverter In few of my earlier posts we have discussed  full bridge inverter circuits  and regarding their working principle. As shown in the above image, basically, in a full-bridge inverter we have a set of 4 MOSFETs connected to the output load. The diagonally connected MOSFET pairs are alternately switched through an external  oscillator , causing the input DC from the battery to transform into an alternating current or AC for the load. The load is normally in the form of a  transformer , whose low ...

Capacitor Start – Induction run Single Phase Motor

  Capacitor Start – Induction run Single Phase Motor The phase difference between main winding and starting winding is achieved by introducing an electrolyte  capacitor  is in series with starting winding.  The capacitor is electrolyte type. When the  speed  of the motor is increased 70 to 80% of full load speed, the centrifugal switch open and starting winding is cut out. Vector diagram As the  capacitor  is in series with starting winding, its vector I S  leads supply by some angle.  The current vector I M  lags the supply voltage by some angle ( < 90 0  ) due to high inductance of the main winding.  The angle between current vector I S  and I M  is in the range of 80 0  to 90 0  which is nearly 30 0  in the case of Split phase motor. Starting torque The  starting torque  is directly proportional sine of angle between starting current and main current.         T...
