Three Phase Inverter

• At each point of time, 3 phases are active, but offset by 120 degrees:

There is a 60 degree dead spot in the 120 degree (instead of 180 degree) mode of operation, allowing time for commutation. Makes sense - that could allow for energy saving in transition as commutation is occuring (by turning power off)

• In the Colombian paper, the coils are run 60 degrees out of phase.
