Abstract
A half-bridge inverter circuit is provided for converting a DC voltage source to an AC voltage waveform, and supplying the AC voltage waveform to a load. The half-bridge inverter includes an inverter comprising a first capacitor for supplying a positive output voltage and a second capacitor for supplying a negative output voltage during respective intervals of the output waveform. An equalizer, responsive to a control circuit, equalizes the voltage output from the first capacitor and the second capacitor in order to overcome non-symmetry of these voltages resulting from a non-symmetrical load.
