In this paper, induction motor drives with low switching acoustic noise based on the 2 phase modulated RLL(Random Lead-Lag) PWM is proposed and implemented. The proposed switching method is much bettor than 3 phase modulated RLL-PWM from the standpoint of the broadening effect of the acoustic noise spectrum. Along with the randomization of PWM Pulses, SVM(Space Vector Modulation) is executed in the TMS320C31 DSP(Digital Signal Processor). To verify the validity of the proposed RPWM(Random PWM), the experimental study was tried. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method and the 3 phase center-aligned SVM / conventional RLL-PWM are nearly the same from the viewpoint of the constant v/f centrel. But, in case of the proposed 2 phase modulated RLL-PWM, the spectrum characteristics of the voltage and the switching acoustic noise are shown to have better broadening effect than 3 phase modulated one.
