Induction motor operation with a six-step inverter supply is analysed in a manner suitable for existing courses in electrical machines. Steady harmonic torques and harmonic losses are examined by the equivalent circuit approach. The two-axis model is used to determine instantaneous torque and current waveforms and to study transient conditions.
