Hello,
I want to make three phase inverter. In a 3 phase 60Hz power supply, each phase angle remains 120 degree out of phase with other. I want to use micro-controller for pulse generation. My question is how much delay (in m/sec or micro seconds) may be added to keep each phase 120 degree out of phase.
Instead of a delay you should think of clock generator that is divided down to produce multiple phase shifted outputs. It would also work for a frequency variable inverter.
Each cycle of a 1-phase 60Hz waveform is subdivided into 2 half-cycles, one positive, another negative. It means that a clock required to switch between half-cycles is twice ( 2x60Hz ).
Working with 3-phase square wave generation, a shift of 1/3 period is required for each phase. It means that above 120Hz clock must be sized to triple ( 360Hz ).
