This document discusses 180 degree conduction mode for a 3-phase inverter. It contains the following information: 1) In 180 degree conduction mode, each switch conducts for a period of 180 degrees with switches triggered in a sequence with an interval of 60 degrees. At any time, three switches (one from each leg) conduct. 2) The complete cycle is divided into six modes with the switching sequence and conducting devices specified for each interval. 3) Equations are provided for the operation and output voltages of each interval along with waveform diagrams showing the phase voltages and line-to-line voltages. 4) Fourier analysis is used to derive expressions for the fundamental and higher order harmonic components of
