Abstract
- This paper proposes an “active common-mode noise canceler” that is capable of eliminating the common-mode voltage produced by a voltage source PWM (pulsewidth modulated) inverter. It generates a compensating voltage which has the same amplitude as, but the opposite phase to, the common-mode voltage produced by the PWM inverter. The compensating voltage is superimposed on the inverter output by a common-mode transformer. As a result, the common-mode voltage applied to the load is canceled completely. The design method of the active common-mode noise canceler is also presented in detail. A prototype has been constructed and tested to verify the effectiveness for an induction motor drive system of 3.7 kW using an IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor) inverter. Some experimental results show that the proposed active common-mode noise canceler makes a significant contribution to eliminating the common-mode current or the ground current, and it prevents an electric shock from being received by anyone handling it. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 124(3): 64–72, 1998 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
