Abstract

See full text

An electrical motor controller changes the PWM frequency that is used by a motor driver to form the fundamental frequency and voltage magnitude for the electrical power delivered to an electrical motor. The electrical motor controller compares a signal generated by a first sensor that indicates an output speed of the motor to a predetermined speed threshold and compares a signal generated by a second sensor that corresponds to phase currents in the electrical motor to a predetermined motor power threshold. These comparisons are used to set the PWM frequency for the motor driver. The PWM frequency either corresponds to a frequency in a humanly imperceptible audio range or to a frequency that is in a humanly perceptible audio range.
