Abstract: This study presents the characteristics and performance of a motor at the operating point based on pulse-width modulation (PWM). PWM is used in modulating the output voltage of a three-phase inverter. The PWM technique has advantages and disadvantages depending on the system size and operating range. For example, some discontinuous pulse-width modulation (DPWM) techniques are advantageous in low-cost systems because they can reduce the number of switches. Some PWM techniques are complicated for software construction and require a lot of computation. In this paper, PWM techniques were constructed by using the offset voltage injection method. Therefore, the construction of the PWM technique is simplified by the method. In an experimental setup, an interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) and a three-phase inverter were implemented to test motor control performance depending on the PWM technique. In addition, the current control characteristics and inverter efficiency were analyzed and compared depending on the speed and load of the motor. According to the results of this paper, it is possible to compare the motor and inverter control characteristics using various types of PWM rapidly. Additionally, it will help to select an appropriate PWM technique for a specific system.
