In this paper, a harmonic elimination and suppression scheme for a dual-inverter-fed open-end winding induction motor drive is presented. Two isolated dc-link sources with voltage ratio of approximately 1 : 0.366 are required for the present drive. These two isolated dc links feeding two inverters to drive the openend winding induction motor eliminate the triplen harmonic currents from the moto...

Vector control, also called fieldoriented control (FOC), is a Variable frequency Drive (VFD) control method in which the stator currents of a 3 phase induction motor are identified as two orthogonal components that can be visualized with a vector. The vector control of induction motors is one of the most suitable and popular speed control technique presently used. The vector control technique d...
