In the general case the following equation can be used to calculate the duty time for the
three components used in the same tetrahedron:

A question has to be asked. From one tetrahedron, how the corresponding edges of the
existing switching vectors can be chosen for the three vectors used in the proposed SVPWM.
Indeed the choice of the sequence of the vectors used for
1
V ,
2
V and
3
V in one tetrahedron
depends on the SVPWM sequencing schematic used [108],[115], in one sampling time it is
recommended to use four vectors, the fourth one is corresponding to zero vector, as it was
shown only two switching combination can serve for this situation that is
16
V (0000) and
1
V
(1111). On the other hand only one changing state of switches can be accepted when passing
from the use of one vector to the following vector. For example in tetrahedron 1 the active
vectors are:
11
V (1000),
3
V (1001) and
4
V (1101), it is clear that if the symmetric sequence
schematic is used and starts with vector
1
V then the sequence of the use of the other active
vectors can be realized as follow:
1
V ,
11
V ,
3
