where is the DC bus?
DC bus location in this design:
  • DC+ (positive bus): Net 4. It is the + output of the rectifier at D1+, goes to the bulk capacitor C1 pin 1, and feeds the high-side device sources on Q1, Q2, and Q3.
  • DC- (negative bus): GND net. It is the - output of the rectifier at D1-, connects to C1 pin 2, and the low-side device drains on Q4, Q5, and Q6.
Context:
  • AC input enters at J3 and feeds the three-phase bridge D1 (AC1/AC2/AC3). The bridge’s + and - form the DC bus across the bulk cap C1.
