This paper studies the space vector pulse width modulation technique (SVPWM) for the three-phase two position six switches voltage source inverter. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) provides a superior technique compared to the other PWM techniques. The SVPWM is easier digital realization, reduced harmonics, reduced switching losses and better dc bus utilization. In SVPWM the three phase quantities can be represented by a single complex vector. In this paper, the required parameters of SVPWM implementation such as time duration and the switching patterns of the inverter switches are discussed.
