Abstract

A new method of synchronised pulsewidth modulation (PWM) has been applied for control of six-phase (dual three-phase) converter feeding symmetrical induction motor which has two sets of windings spatially shifted by 60 electrical degrees. Basic schemes of synchronised continuous and discontinuous PWM, disseminated for control of symmetrical systems, have been analyzed and compared. It has been shown, that combined (hybrid) schemes of synchronized PWM provide better weighted THD factor of the useful components of the phase voltages in comparison with the identical (continuous+continuous or discontinuous+discontinuous) schemes of PWM in symmetrical dual three-phase systems. Simulation results illustrate the behavior of symmetrical six-phase converters with low switching frequency, controlled by algorithms of synchronised PWM.
