Consider the single-phase voltage source inverter circuit feeding an inductive load (L). Assume that the power MOSFET switches are ideal. $\mathrm{S}_1$ and $\mathrm{S}_2$ are switched on during the first $10 \mu \mathrm{~s}$, and $\mathrm{S}_3$ and $\mathrm{S}_4$ are switched on during the next $10 \mu \mathrm{~s}$ in a switching cycle. The switches in the same leg are thus switched in a complementary fashion. Neglect the dead time. The waveform of the inductor current ( $i_L$ ) in the steady state is triangular with a peak value of 5 A as shown.
