Abstract
A control system and a method of using the same for an electric machine having a random number generating module generating a random number ranging from a first value to a second value, a multiplying module multiplying the random number and a sample rate to generate an random delay value; and a delay limiter module limiting the random delay value as a function of speed of the electric machine and generating a limited delay value.
Claims19
A control system for an electric machine, comprising:
- a random number generating module that generates a random number ranging from a first value to a second value;
- a multiplying module that multiplies said random number and a sample rate to generate a random delay value;
- and
- a delay limiter module that limits said random delay value as a function of speed of said electric machine and generates a limited delay value.

A control system for an electric machine, said control system comprising:
- a random number generating module that generates a random number ranging from a first value to a second value;
- a multiplying module that multiplies said random number and a sample rate to generate a random delay value;
- and
- a delay limiter module that limits said random delay value as a function of speed of said electric machine and generates a limited delay value, that limits said random delay value as a function of speed for speeds greater than a predetermined value, which is greater than a minimum speed of said electric machine and less than a maximum speed of said electric machine.
