Inserted between the inverter and the AC motor for the purpose of providing clean sinusoidal voltage at the motor terminals, the pure sine filter (PSF) involves common mode and differential mode suppression components. When using PSF in a motor drive and employing advanced PWM techniques with discontinuous modulation waveforms, large common mode current may circulate through the inverter and the filter resulting in overcurrent stress in the inverter and significant acoustic noise in the filter inductors. This paper first discusses the PSF and advanced PWM techniques, then investigates the performance issues that may arise when combining advanced PWM methods with PSF and provides a curement for the overcurrent stress problems by means of a rate of change limiter (ROCL). The detailed experimental studies illustrate the inverter overcurrent stress problems and the feasibility of the proposed method to cure the problems. Via performance evaluation of various PWM methods, the paper also suggests, along with PSF, the use of advanced continuous and discontinuous PWM methods with reduced common mode voltage for the purpose of performance enhancement. © 2010 IEEE.
