Abstract

Experimentation with polyphasic voltages is greatly simplified when microcontrollers are used to generate multiple square waves with fixed phase offsets. Each square wave is sent through a simple second-order Sallen-Key filter to produce an approximately sinusoidal voltage signal. The microcontroller allows the reproduction of split-phase and three-phase voltage relationships, mirroring those commonly distributed on the North American power grid, at safe voltage levels.
