Abstract

An electric machine is configured with at least two sets of phase windings. A plurality of power switches is configured to selectively couple voltage terminals to each of the phase windings. A controller is programmed to operate the power switches according to a switching pattern, for each of the sets, updated at intervals defined by a switching frequency such that the switching patterns are different during each one of the intervals.
