A motor drive system comprises a power converter arranged to supply an input voltage to a motor connected to the power converter by a cable arrangement. The cable arrangement includes first, second, and third conductors, each of said conductors being electrically coupled at one end to the power converter, and to the motor at the other end. A resistive portion is connected to a respective node of each of said first, second, and third conductors. A capacitive portion is connected to the resistive portion in series. A switching portion is connected in parallel to the capacitive portion and is operable in open and closed states. In the closed state, the capacitive portion is bypassed, providing for dissipation of regenerative energy from the motor. In the open state, the capacitive portion is not bypassed, and acts with the resistive portion to provide RC damper functionality to mitigate transmission line effects from the conductors.

A controller includes: a connection switch that switches a connection state of a winding of a synchronous motor during a rotating operation of the synchronous motor; a current detector that detects a rotary machine current flowing in the synchronous motor; a position/speed estimator that estimates a magnetic pole position and speed of a rotor; a voltage applicator that applies a voltage to the synchronous motor; and a control circuitry that generates a voltage command given to the voltage applicator on the basis of the magnetic pole position and the speed, and outputs a switching operation command for switching the connection state to the connection switch. The control circuitry generates the voltage command to bring the rotary machine current close to zero before the connection state of the winding is switched.

Adjustment of operational performance of an electric machine (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a non-transitory computer-readable medium can comprise executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: deactivating a first sub-set of winding sectors, wherein the first sub-set of the winding sectors comprises at least one winding sector, and triggering an AC drive signal for a second sub-set of the winding sectors such that a rotor is rotated using the winding sectors of the second sub-set, wherein an electric machine comprises a stator and the rotor, wherein the stator comprises a set of N phase windings, wherein each N phase winding, of the set of N phase windings, forms p poles around a circumference of the stator, and wherein each p pole, of the p poles, is formed by the at least one winding sector.
