The document describes the operation of a 3-phase inverter in both 180 degree and 120 degree conduction modes. In 180 degree mode, each switch is closed for 180 degrees before the next switch closes. In 120 degree mode, each switch is closed for 120 degrees. The document provides the switching sequences and corresponding phase and line voltages for each conduction mode. It concludes that both modes produce an approximated 3-phase output voltage, though not a pure sine wave, to demonstrate the basic operation of a 3-phase inverter.
