power from a battery pack is converted to three phase AC power for driving an AC induction motor. IGBTs and their gate driver circuits, driven by DC/DC converters, perform the inverter function. Logic drive signals are supplied to the inverter in the form of a PWM-generated sine wave called Space Vector Modulation (SVM). The SVM software contains three PID control loops, controlling stator flux, stator torque, and rotor angular velocity. • 2010 Electric motorcycle A 48 VDC to 30 VAC, 7.5 kW inverter is designed to power a three phase
