Abstract: Conventional PWM techniques generate high magnitude of harmonics at and around harmonic of switching frequencies. This high magnitude of harmonics causes acoustic noise, vibration and electromagnetic interference to the nearby systems. In this paper different types of variable and constant switching frequency random PWM techniques were discussed to reduce the magnitude of harmonics at multiples of switching frequencies. In variable switching frequency random PWM techniques, frequencies are varied in a limited range (±500 Hz) hence filter design also becomes easy. The performance evaluation of these random PWM techniques is carried out in MATLAB/ Simulink without filter circuit between inverter and induction motor.
