DC-AC converter control window

The modulation index can be modified by selecting the string “Amp” and moving the joystick 
right until the “Amp” parameter is modified to the desired value. 

For open loop operation it is suggested to set an “Amp” value equal to 2.5 V and vary the 
output power by acting only on the DC-DC converter phase shift parameter. 

8. 

To stop delivering power to the electrical load during open loop operation it is 
convenient to turn off the DC supply and leave the modulation enabled in order to 
ensure that all the power capacitors are discharged on the electrical load. 

Closed loop operation

The closed loop operation allows to connect the system to the grid and to start current 
injection at 230 V and 50 Hz. 

Before realizing the first grid connection it is advised to follow the procedure below. This 
procedure allows to check, in a safe way, for any potential problems that might affect the 
demonstration board, without the risk of seriously damaging it. The procedure may be 
summarized as follows:

●

Disconnect the coupling inductor at J9 on the relay board

●

Do not connect the DC input to J7 on the power board

●

Connect J1 on the power supply board to 230 V AC and power the system up

●

Reset the microcontroller firmware and make sure the screen shot shown on the 
display is the one in
