“…Since the total harmonic distortion is then increased, the emitted acoustic noise level can become unacceptable. However, although the effect of nonsinusoidal supplies on the acoustic noise has been addressed extensively [3]- [9], and various PWM strategies, such as natural sampling, asymmetrical regular sampling, harmonic elimination, optimal, space vector, and random PWM, have been developed primarily to reduce harmonic distortion and improve efficiency, their effect on noise emissions has been largely restricted to a consideration of the 0278-0046/00$10.00 © 2000 IEEE switching noise of the drive, with relatively little consideration of their interaction with the machines.…”
