In this paper the authors deal with the effects of the inverter characteristics on the iron losses increment in induction motors fed by PWM controlled converters. Laboratory tests based on no-load input power measurement were carried out and in order to avoid the influence of mechanical losses and rotor copper losses, difficult to be measured or computed, a special test bench with an unconventional test device was employed. In particular the influence of the following inverter parameters are considered: modulation index; modulation waveform; switching frequency. Complete experimental results are presented and discussed.
