Title: A control device
Inventor: RICHARD THOMAS BURKE
IPC: H02P27/08
Filed: 2017-11-10
Abstract: An electric motor has a first set of coil windings arranged to form a first sub motor and a second set of coil windings arranged to form a second sub motor. Current flow in the first set of coil windings is controlled using a first pulse width modulation (PWM) having a first switching sequence and current flow in the second set of coil windings is controlled using a second PWM having a second switching sequence. A control device measures the current flow in each of the first set of coil windings, and upon determining that the sum of the current flow in the first set of coil windings is substantially non zero, derives the first PWM values from voltage values used to generate the second PWM. The second PWM switching sequence may be staggered relative to the first PWM switching sequence. The first PWM values may be derived from a quadrature axis voltage value and the direct axis voltage axis value used to generate the second PWM.
