Method of inverter linearization in electric machines through secondary modulation

摘要

A method for implementing control signal linearization for an electric motor is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the method includes receiving a desired voltage command to be applied to the motor and determining whether the magnitude of the desired voltage command falls between a first value and a second value. If the magnitude of the desired voltage command falls between the first value and the second value, then modulating a voltage command between the first and the second value over a determined sample period, thereby resulting in the application of a modulated voltage command to the motor.
