The power electronics motor drive comes in two major types: (1) the servo motor
drive to control the precise speed and position of the rotor and (2) the motor drive for

air ventilation and uid pumping rate. The response time and precision in position
are important in the servo drive but not in the variable-speed motor drive. Our inter-
est in this chapter is primarily focused on the variable-speed motor drives.
The variable-frequency drives (VFDs) for ac motors were initially developed in
