Right Selection of Inverter Systems and Harmonics Reduction A Means of Enhancing Power Infrastructure in Nigeria

The paper examines various types of inverter systems available in the markets in terms of their waveforms, harmonics and quality by taking the ideal Sinusoidal waveform as a reference. It illuminates some vital information on various types of inverters and their technologies. It identifies harmonics distortion has an important criterion for selecting a power inverter. It shows in lucid manner how to mathematically determine Total Harmonic Distortion THD of a waveform. It calculates the harmonics content of a Square wave inverter and proffer solution on how to reduce them. The resultant is an empowerment of power electronics engineers to distinguish which of the types to purchase in order to optimally improve national infrastructure and to enhance values of their scarce resources.
