Number 2 –> What is space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM)?
One common, modern method for controlling three-phase induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors (aka BLAC or PMAC motors) is field oriented control, which independently controls the magnetizing and torque-producing components of the stator current. This allows the torque-producing component to be kept orthogonal to the rotor flux, maximizing torque production. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is a technique used in the final step of field oriented control (FOC) to determine the pulse-width modulated signals for the inverter switches in order to generate the desired 3-phase voltages to the motor.
