This article proposes the space vector based decoupled centric and
non-centric PWM techniques for open-end winding induction motor drive. To
make the proposed configuration, 2-coventional inverters are fed on either
side of open-circuited stator winding of induction motor. Therefore three
level output is achieved. To obtain the control pulses for inverters in the
proposed configuration reference sinusoids are used. All the proposed PWM
techniques use the equal switching frequency. To obtain the validation for
the proposed work various theoretical and simulation analysis is carried out
using v/f control and the corresponding output voltage is verified
experimentally using 1HP asynchronous motor.
