requirements of the transistors. Notice that the square wave on the right side of the H-
Bridge is phase shifted compared to the left side of the H-Bridge. As a result, the
transformer primary sees the bottom waveform across its terminals. The RMS value of
this waveform is directly controlled by the amount of phase shift of the square waves.
Regardless of the phase shift, no DC component appears in the load voltage as long as the
duty cycle of each square wave remains at 50% making this technique ideally suited for
transformer loads. As a result, this topology is frequently used in industrial welders to
adjust the amount of energy delivered to the weld arc.
