Abstract
A polyphase induction motor is operated by an inverter drive system comprising a logic level controller. A number, preferably twelve or more, of independently driven phases causes harmonic fields, up to a number equal to the number of phases, to oscillate in synchrony with the fundamental oscillating field. A pulse-width modulation (“PWM”) carrier is used by the logic level controller to synthesize a desired drive alternating current, in which the pulsing distortion produced by the pulse width modulation produces a synchronous oscillating field in the driven polyphase induction motor.
