Pulse width modulation

In the given figure, 2d represents the total pulse width or the time duration for which the device is conducted in the one-half cycle (80°)

In 60-degree PWM, the device conducts for 120°.

So, the device is made 'ON' for 2/3 of the cycle. Hence, statement A is incorrect.

and the device is made 'OFF' for 1/3 of the cycle. Hence, statement B is correct.

The phase voltage is given by:

The phase voltage = 0.57735 Vsupply

Hence, statement C is correct.

The line voltage in PWM is always less than the supply voltage.

Hence, statement E is correct.

The correct answer is option A.
