Z source inverter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basic circuit of the Z source inverter

A Z-Source Inverter ( ZSI ) is a converter that combines the properties of a Current Source Inverter (CSI) and a Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) in order to feed a direct current into the alternating current network. Due to the crossed operation of two inductors (choke) and two capacitors (capacitor), the input voltage in relation to the output can be increased (boost operation / step-up converter operation) as well as reduced (buck operation / step-down converter operation).
