A single phase inverter has a square wave output voltage. What is the percentage of fifth harmonic component in relation to fundamental component present in the output voltage?

  • A. 40%
  • B. 30%
  • C. 20%
  • D. 10%

Answer: C. 20%

Explanation: For a square-wave inverter output, harmonic voltages vary inversely with harmonic order: V5/V1 = 1/5 = 20%.
