Can anyone shed any more light why the motor voltage is thesame as that of the dc link other than the explanation offered in the book? I am still not getting it.

Thanks

 
OK, well I'll give it a go.

Don't think of them as "transistors"... since they're operating as an ideal switch, think of them as contacts for a relay. Ignore the BJT transistor look and draw in an open relay contact... -||-

Let's call the "transistors"

A B C

D E F

Then we have legs 1, 2, and 3 of the motor.

Close A and E. You now have 679 volts between legs 1 and 2.

Open A and E and close B and F. Now you have 679 volts between legs 2 and 3.

And round it goes...

Does that help?
