🔹 Problem 1 – Maximum Line Voltage

Given:
DC bus voltage = 400 V
Find maximum fundamental line voltage using SVPWM.

For SVPWM:
VLL,max = Vdc

Answer = 400 V


🔹 Problem 2 – Compare with SPWM

Given: Vdc = 400 V

SPWM:
VLL,max = 0.866 Vdc = 0.866 × 400 = 346.4 V

Improvement in SVPWM:
(400 − 346.4)/346.4 × 100 ≈ 15.47%


🔹 Problem 3 – Switching Time Calculation

Given:
Vdc = 600 V
Vref = 300 V
Switching period Ts = 100 μs
α = 20°

T₁ = Ts (Vref/Vdc) sin(60° − α)
T₂ = Ts (Vref/Vdc) sin(α)

Vref/Vdc = 300/600 = 0.5

T₁ = 100 × 0.5 × sin(40°)
= 100 × 0.5 × 0.643
≈ 32.15 μs

T₂ = 100 × 0.5 × sin(20°)
= 100 × 0.5 × 0.342
≈ 17.1 μs


🔹 Problem 4 – Zero Vector Time

T₀ = Ts − (T₁ + T₂)
= 100 − (32.15 + 17.1)
≈ 50.75 μs


🔹 GATE Concept Points

  • Always identify sector first
  • Use correct sine angles
  • T₀ split equally at beginning & end
  • Remember 15% voltage gain concept

📌 Quick Revision

SVPWM → 6 sectors
T₁, T₂ from sine relations
T₀ = Ts − (T₁ + T₂)
