This paper presents a two-segment motor system powered by two inverters with phase-shift pulsewidth modulation (PWM) to fulfill the purpose of low-torque ripple and vibration noise. Different from conventional multi-inverter structure, the inverters for this type of machine are electrically isolated between each other. First, the concept of multisegment machine is presented and the basic operation principle is analyzed with finite-element analysis (FEA) method. Then vibration caused by the switching device in machine is investigated and the control model of a two-segment motor is developed. Further, the principle of carrier phase-shift PWM is illustrated with the vibration analysis. Carrier phase shift can generate interleaved torque and force on the rotor for the two groups of windings in the machine and cancel each other for certain harmonics. Then simulation of control strategy for this type of machine has been done in MATLAB. Finally, based on the concept and principles mentioned before, a two-segment motor with its drive system is fabricated. Both the test of torque ripple and the vibration of the motor have been significantly improved. Compared with a normal three-phase motor driven by a paralleled inverter with interleaving, the proposed approach is with comparable vibration reduction but without using extra coupled inductors.
