The modulation index of a pulse width modulated inverter is the ratio of

  • A.the dc link voltage to the peak output voltage
  • B.the output current to the rated current of the machine
  • C.the reference amplitude to the carrier amplitude
  • D.the switching frequency to the output frequency

Answer: C

Correct answer: the reference amplitude to the carrier amplitude

The modulation index is the ratio of the modulating signal to the triangular carrier, and it sets the fundamental output as a fraction of what the link can supply. Below one the relation is linear; above one the inverter over-modulates, gaining a little fundamental voltage at the cost of low-order harmonics.
