 Abstract   This paper proposes a design method of the L-C output filter for UPS inverter. There are two kinds of harmonic sources that make the UPS output voltage waveform be distorted: One is caused by the PWM switching of inverter but most of it can be eliminated by inserting the L-C filter in the output side of inverter. The other is caused by the nonlinear characteristics of the load current. If the output impedance of the UPS inverter is almost zero, then the output voltage waveform may be independent on the nonlinear load current characteristics. But the configuration of the power circuit with L-C filter cannot meet the zero-output impedance at all. The feedback controller complements the harmonic distortion due to the nonlinear load current. But the design value of L-C filter and the system performance of the controller are coupled each other and it is difficult to design the L-C filter considering the system performance of the controller in the conventional method. In this paper, the harmonic components caused by two different sources are analyzed separately based on the transfer function described as the closed form. The filter value can be calculated with the given value of system time constant determined by the switching frequency, the speed of control processor, and the controller gain. A design procedure is described by a single flow chart and explained step by step. The validity of the proposed filter design algorithm is verified through the simulation and experiments.
