This paper discusses a 48-pulse Hbridge PWM inverter which utilizes a quasiresonant topology that is comprised of a clamping circuit and a resonant circuit, in order to achieve soft switching. The use of a multi-pulse inverter increases the quality of the output whereas the implementation of soft sw...
