2-EVM Daisy-Chain for 3 or 4-Phase Operation

Figure 2-8 shows the jumper settings for 2-EVM Daisy-Chain.

Jumper Settings in 2-EVM Daisy-Chain for 3 or 4-Phase Operation described four-phase operating with 90° interleaving. By connecting secondary EVM J30 pin 2,3 instead of pin 1,2, three-phase operating is obtained.

J6 is open and J32 is closed in main EVM, thus interleaving angle changes automatically between 3 phase and 4 phase.

Note for bidirectional operation, the source and load needs to be set referring to Bench Setup.
