 Abstract   Inverter-fed ac drives with two- and three-phase PWMs are compared from the point of view of motor harmonic losses, torque ripples and inverter losses. The skin effect in rotor bars is taken into account. The novel three-phase PWM, which can be constructed similar to the space vector method, is suggested. This method produce scarcely lower harmonic losses and considerable lower torque ripples than the space vector method. Computations are valid for two different, 3.3kHZ and 2kHz transistor switching frequencies assuming that the whole or only 2/3rd of rotor resistance is affected by skin effect. A special care was devoted to the overmodulation region. For this a novel two-phase PWM schemes are suggested. For the same transistor switching frequency the fundamental voltage - where the two-phase and three-phase PWMs produce the same losses - virtually does not depend on the skin. In the whole normal voltage region the motor torque ripples and speed oscillations for the same switching frequency are lower for the three-phase PWMs. This is true especially for the suggested three-phase PWM since in this case the first side modulation harmonics do not produce torque harmonics. The frequency converter conduction and switching losses in the case of the usually used two-phase PWM are about the same than those in the case of three-phase PWMs.
