uInverter: High DC link current ripple #199

Closed purohitparth25 closed 2 years ago

purohitparth25 commented 2 years ago

High ripple is seen in the DC link current even after having a relatively large DC link bulk capacitance of 2000 uF. Below waveform captures show the input DC current from a benchtop DC power supply at 12 V DC link voltage.

From the waveforms, it looks like the ripple current reduces with an increase in switching frequency and fundamental output frequency.
