Abstract

A motor control system includes a control module, a switching module, and a filtering module. The control module determines output voltages for operating a motor based on a torque demand. The switching module generates switching signals for an inverter that drives the motor. The switching module generates the switching signals based on the output voltages. The switching module generates an out-of-volts (OOV) signal according to a comparison based on the output voltages, a maximum duty cycle, and a voltage of a direct current (DC) bus that provides power to the inverter. The filtering module generates an OOV amount by filtering the OOV signal. The control module selectively limits the torque demand based on the OOV amount.
