Techniques to predict the dynamic and steady state behaviour of inverter-fed induction machines are long established and well validated [1 - 6]. However, software development costs have precluded the use of such techniques from becoming as widespread as the implementation of inverter-fed drives. This has led to the situation where potential misunderstanding has arisen over the causes of observed unstable behaviour of voltage source inverter-fed drives. In several recent presentations of technical papers limit cycle instabilities of VSI drives at low speeds have been attributed to the switching effects of the inverter or slight jitter in the output waveform of a proprietry LSI PWM device. The present paper concerns the study of such limit cycle instabilities using simulation techniques. Two techniques are used: 1) A full simulation including the effects of inverter harmonics, anti-overlap delays, open-circuit voltages and output waveform jitter. 2) A reduced order simulation which neglects inverter output harmonics and other output waveform defects. These simulations form part of a commercial software package under development. Limit cycle instabilities are studied and there are strong indications that they are inherent in the inverter source impedance/induction motor combination and are relatively independent of inverter output waveform harmonics, jitter and other defects.
