Abstract

A measurement device configured to deliver a voltage corresponding to an overlay of an input voltage applied to the terminals of the measurement device and of an image voltage of a current circulating in a first capacitor to the terminals of which the input voltage is applied, the measurement device includes a shunt filter intended to be mounted in parallel with the first capacitor and comprising a second capacitor and a first resistor mounted in series with the second capacitor, a second resistor mounted in parallel with the second capacitor.

Claims (7)

1. An inverter device (DO) intended to transform a direct voltage into a single-phase voltage, the inverter device (DO) comprising a low-pass filter, a measurement device (DM), and four power switches mounted in H-bridge configuration, said low-pass filter comprising the first capacitor (C 1 ) and an inductor (L), said measurement device (DM) being configured to deliver a voltage corresponding to an overlay of an input voltage applied to the terminals of the measurement device (DM) and of an image voltage of a current circulating in a first capacitor (C 1 ) to the terminals of which the input voltage is applied, the measurement device (DM) comprising:

a shunt filter (FD) intended to be mounted in parallel with the first capacitor (C 1 ) and comprising a second capacitor (C 2 ) and a first resistor (R 1 ) mounted in series with the second capacitor (C 2 ),

a second resistor (R 2 ) mounted in parallel with the second capacitor (C 2 );

said H-bridge comprising two branches each comprising two switches connected in series, a first mid-point (P 1 ) linking the two switches of a first of the two branches and a second mid-point (P 2 ) linking the two switches of a second of the two branches, the first mid-point (P 1 ) being linked to a first terminal of the first capacitor (C 1 ) via the inductor (L) and the second mid-point (P 2 ) being linked to a second terminal of the second capacitor (C 2 ).

2. The inverter device (DO) according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement device (DM) comprises the first capacitor (C 1 ).

3. The inverter device (DO) according to claim 1 , wherein the shunt filter (FD) has a time constant less than ten times a predetermined maximum period of the input current.

4. The inverter device (DO) according to claim 3 , comprising a regulator (REG) configured to control the switches as a function of the voltage delivered at the terminals of the first resistor (R 1 ).
