Abstract:
The modern-day electric vehicles use brush less DC motors (BLDC) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) as the main driving units. The traction systems also have tried PMSM machine as the driving unit. The variable frequency power source is required to control the speed and torque of the motor to meet the load requirements. The Inverter – power modulator is causing the production of ripples in source current and flux components, hence the torque. This paper presents the effect of inverter on the flux and torque ripples. Also, the simulation results of inverter switching losses are discussed.
