Hard Switching and Soft Switching Performance of Single Phase Push-Pull Inverter

The current project has as major aim the design of a single-phase inverter for educational purposes with clearly too known about hard switching and soft switching of an inverter. Switching operation of semi-conductor devices is mostly important control of an inverter. Because, switching process decides the performs of a device. So, in this project clearly analysis the switching operation of an inverter. Basically inverter designed with either hard switching components or soft switching components. So here we clearly discussed operating performs of both hard and soft switching. Since the first Arduino board was developed on 2005, there has been a turning point on the programming world, especially between non specialised users. With an intuitive software and a wide amount of applications, it is a highly recommended option for the first approach to digital programming for students. For those reasons, this paper has the aim to apply this tool to ease the switching operation on a single-phase inverter with the help of simulation program substituting analogical circuitry. To achieve those aims, a first complete theoretical analysis will be made, including its applications and basic elements. Afterwards, the specific characteristics of the desired inverter will be defined, allowing the computation and selection of the components required. After the theoretical approach, the complete circuit will be simulated with the Mat lab software and will implement in a protoboard. Some measurements will be also done in order to check the performance of the device and its efficiency.
