While the information in Table 4.5 - Table 4.8 is helpful when interpreting the different<br />

modulation indices in the literature, this report specifies SVs in terms of peak L-N quantities<br />

referenced to V DC (and for inverters, k 2/3).<br />

Therefore it is helpful to summarize the<br />

maximum modulation indices defined in these terms, Table 4.9.<br />

If an inverter were to only operate using SPWM, it would make sense to use the modulation index<br />

defined with reference to (R). If an inverter were capable of operating using THI, it would make<br />

sense to use the modulation index defined with reference to (T). For inverters capable of THI, (T)<br />

is the limit of linear inverter operation. If the inverter can smoothly transition from THI to sixstep<br />

squarewave mode and retain linear control over the fundamental of the output voltage (and if<br />

harmonics are acceptable in the output) it would make sense to use the modulation index defined<br />

with reference to (F). This report is concerned with SVM and attention is restricted to the linear<br />

region, thus the definition of the modulation index used is that referenced to (T). Explicitly, the<br />

modulation index used in this report is that given in Equation (4.8), where the space vector is<br />

amplitude invariant and represents the peak value of a line-neutral phase voltage; it is denoted as<br />

simply m to distinguish it from all other definitions.<br />

A final word of caution is that some references use one definition of space vector (for example,<br />

L-L RMS) and use a definition for the modulation index based on different quantities (for<br />

example, L-N peak). These conflicting usages can be confusing but are easily resolved using the<br />

above tables.<br />
