Abstract
A pulse generator (including a microcomputer) for supplying a pulse pattern to semiconductor devices of a power converter (such as an inverter or a converter) using the pulse width control scheme is provided with function of dropping pulses so that the pulse pattern may form a predetermined function provided that the pulse width is shorter than a limit value (Limit). As a result, the input and output waveforms of the power converter can be made sinusoidal and can be released from the constraint of the minimum pulse width of power conversion semiconductor devices.
