Adjusting gate pulse time intervals for reflected wave mitigation

摘要

Methods and apparatus for controlling switching in a DC-to-AC inverter to prevent overvoltages applied to an AC motor by determining the switching order of the phase voltage signals, providing gating signals at switching intervals by modulating a carrier wave with the phase voltage signals, comparing the switching intervals to a predetermined minimum time interval sufficient for reflected wave transients to dissipate, and adjusting the switching intervals to be at least equal to the predetermined minimum time interval.
