A multiphase inverter circuit and a modulation method thereof. The multiphase inverter circuit is configured for generating a target alternating current power based on a direct current power provided by a DC power supply, and the multiphase inverter circuit includes at least one non-interleaved inverter circuit; the non-interleaved inverter circuit includes: a first bridge arm unit, a second bridge arm unit, and an inverting coupling transformer.

Abstract:
In described examples, a Phase Regulated Power Supply includes a low output DC logic power supply, a voltage divider to sample the input AC waveform, one or more comparators, digital logic, and a switching transistor. It can include a Full Wave Rectifier and one or more capacitors, inductors and opto-isolators. In the most basic form, Alternating Current (AC) power is switched directly to a load when the AC instantaneous voltage is between a low and high set-point. Voltage is regulated by controlling the high set-point. Current through the load is regulated by briefly extinguishing the AC input from the load when the load current exceeds a set parameter. Voltage output to the load is adjustable from zero volts to the AC peak voltage. Current through the load is adjustable from zero amps to the AC circuit breaker limit.
