ABSTRACT
Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) has become the successful techniques to construct three-
phase sine wave Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) parallel to control three-phase motor using vector control.
In this paper we present the analysis of SVPWM to construct two-phase sine wave VSI for single-phase
induction motor. We also describes the modulation technique refer to dq components of main and auxiliary
windings of single-phase induction motor. The VSI have four legs for this single-phase induction motor,
and the four switching sequences had simulated in MATLAB and SIMULINK. The simulation result shows
the feasibility of the proposed modulation techniques to drive single-phase induction motor.
