CIRCUIT OPERATION (cont’d) 
 
Output Voltage References 
 
(1)  Output voltage references
 
 
ED_R and EQ_R (the results of the current regulator) and the flux angle are input into a two to three 
phase conversion block.   This block outputs the phase voltage references to the PWM (pulse width 
modulation) controller. 
 
(2) PWM control
 
The PWM control section outputs gate pulse signals to the gate board based on the voltage 
reference of each phase. 
 
(3)  Gate Signal Distribution board (GSD)
 
The GSD board receives the gate signals from the control board and sends them to the individual 
power modules.
