Inverter-fed drive systems are mostly optimized to operate at the best efficiency, neglecting the possibility of acoustic optimization. The chosen operating point can lead to undesired harmonics involving vibrations and noises of the electrical drive. In order to optimize the system with respect to acoustics, the given operating point for best efficiency is left and a noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)-optimized operating point is chosen. This paper shows the influence of the operating point on NVH, describes an NVH-optimized control and draws a comparison between simulation and measurement.     «
