A Review of Reduction Methods of Impact of Common-Mode Voltage on Electric Drives
Marek Turzyński, Piotr Musznicki
Abstract
In this survey paper, typical solutions that focus on the reduction in negative effects resulting from the common-mode voltage influence in AC motor drive applications are re-examined. The critical effectiveness evaluation of the considered methods is based on experimental results of tests performed in a laboratory setup with an induction machine fed by an inverter. The capacity of a common-mode voltage level reduction and voltage gradient du/dt limitation is discussed to extend motor bearings’ lifetime and increase motor windings’ safety. The characteristic features of the described solutions are compared and demonstrated using laboratory results.
