Abstract—The Z-source providing unique LC impedance network features that cannot be obtained in the traditional Voltage-Source (VSI) and Current-Source (CSI) inverters where a capacitor and inductor are used. This paper focuses on the effect of capacitance and inductance of z-source inverter, on the voltage ripple, current ripple allows the use of the shoot-through switching state, which eliminates the need for a dead time that used in the traditional inverters to avoid the risk of damaging the inverter circuit. Moreover, it provides a ride-through capability that reduces harmonics, hence; improving the power factor, high reliability, and extends output voltage range. National Instrument Software (Multisim) utilized to simulate the circuit.
