Abstract

Multi-phase ac motor drives are nowadays considered for various applications, due to numerous advantages that they offer when compared to their three-phase counterparts. Adjustable speed drives are invariably supplied from a voltage source inverter. Proper modelling of voltage source inverters is important in devising appropriate control algorithm. This paper develops complete model of a seven-phase voltage source inverter based on space vector approach. The leg voltages and line voltages along with phase voltages are illustrated. The Fourier analysis of output phase-to-neutral voltages, adjacent line voltages and non-adjacent line voltages is performed for fourteen-step and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modes of operation. The output phase-to-neutral voltage is shown to be essentially identical to those obtainable with a three-phase voltage source inverter.

Keywords

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), voltage source inverter.
