considerably higher than expected. The PWM waveform having 15 pphc <strong>and</strong> PAM produce about<br />

the same amount <strong>of</strong> loss even if d 2 <strong>and</strong> the THD measured for PAM are higher. The PWM<br />

waveforms having 3 <strong>and</strong> 9 pphc are inferior to PAM, but the difference is bigger than it should. On<br />

the other h<strong>and</strong>, the result agrees well with the temperature rise measurements for the motor.<br />

The above result is presented in another way in Fig. 6.17. There the amount <strong>of</strong> harmonic loss Ph is<br />

divided by the square <strong>of</strong> the corresponding harmonic current Ih. Thus, the effective harmonic<br />

resistance Rh measured is defined as<br />

It can be seen that for the PWM waveform having 15 pphc the effective resistance is about three<br />

times higher than for PAM. The resistance goes up clearly as a function <strong>of</strong> the switching frequency.<br />

The switching frequency fsw or pulse number Np determines the harmonic spectrum <strong>of</strong> the PWM<br />

waveform. Increasing Np will move the harmonic content <strong>of</strong> the spectra upwards in the frequency<br />

scale. The idea is that a higher frequency voltage will see a higher impedance, <strong>and</strong> a lower amount<br />

<strong>of</strong> current <strong>and</strong> loss is induced. This applies well if the ohmic loss is considered.<br />

On the other h<strong>and</strong>, hysteresis <strong>and</strong> eddy-current loss <strong>and</strong> the loss due to the circulatory currents in<br />

the stator winding increase as a function <strong>of</strong> the frequency. As is shown in Section 2.4, the relative<br />

importance <strong>of</strong> ohmic loss decreases proportional to the speed <strong>of</strong> the electric machine. The relative<br />

importance <strong>of</strong> hysteresis loss is constant <strong>and</strong> the importance <strong>of</strong> eddy current loss increases<br />

proportional to speed. The measurement results imply that the increase <strong>of</strong> this phenomenon severely<br />

decrease the benefits <strong>of</strong> having higher switching frequency <strong>and</strong> pulse number in high-speed motors.<br />
