    摘要: Methods and systems for operating a motor coupled to an electrical bus in a vehicle are provided. Selected resonant frequencies of the electrical bus are determined. The selected resonant frequencies include a low resonant frequency and a high resonant frequency. Power is provided to the motor through at least one switch operating at a switching frequency. The switching frequency is controlled as a function of a rate of operation of the motor. The function is characterized by one of a first substantially linear portion having a first slope when the switching frequency is less than or equal to a selected switching frequency and a second substantially linear portion having a second slope if the switching frequency is greater than the selected frequency, the selected switching frequency being greater than the low resonant frequency and a substantially linear portion having a y-intercept being greater than the low resonant frequency.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for compensating for a deviation in voltage output of a phase leg inverter when dead-time periods are inserted to prevent shoot-through failures. The method includes determining a pulse width for an input signal to the inverter such that the inverter voltage output is a desired amount. The pulse width is based on the non-inverted or inverted pulse sequences of two carrier signals and the polarity of current through the inverter. An amount of pulse width is added to the input signal when the current is positive, and an amount of pulse width is subtracted from the input signal when the current is negative. An additional amount of pulse width is added to or subtracted from the input signal depending on whether the carrier signal sequence changes from a non-inverted signal to an inverted signal or changes from an inverted signal to a non-inverted signal, respectively.
