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 pulsewidth modulation (PWM) techniques with discontinuous modulation waveforms, a 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 discontinuous PWM methods with PSF and provides a curement for the overcurrent stress problems by means of a rate of change limiter. The simulations and detailed experimental studies illustrate the inverter overcurrent stress problems and the feasibility of the proposed method to cure the problems. Via experimental 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 and filter size reduction.

Performance Analysis, Filter Component Sizing, and Controller Structure Selection of Small Capacitor Diode Rectifier Front End Inverter Drives Aban, V. Volkan; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2014-09-24) In this study, the input filter design and dc-bus voltage control of ac motor drives utilizing low capacitance film capacitor are investigated. The dc-bus voltage instability problem arising due to the resonance between the dc-bus capacitor and circuit inductances is explained. A dimensioning algorithm of dc-bus filter components for stable operation is given. The simulation results of the low capacitance motor drives with and without dc-link inductor are provided to observe the stability of the dc-bus at d...
Performance Characteristics of the Reduced Common Mode Voltage Near State PWM Method Un, E.; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2009-07-01) The Near State PWM (NSPWM) method, which has low common mode voltage and low common mode current, is proposed for three-phase voltage source inverter drives. The method is described and its voltage linearity, output current ripple, DC bus current ripple, common mode voltage and output line-to-line pulse patterns are thoroughly studied and compared with classical PWM methods. The theory, simulation, and laboratory experiments illustrate that in the high modulation index operating range NSPWM has superior ove...
Common-Mode Voltage Reduction Pulsewidth Modulation Techniques for Three-Phase Grid-Connected Converters Hou, Chung-Chuan; Shih, Chih-Chung; Cheng, Po-Tai; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2013-04-01) This paper experimentally investigates the performance of three-phase voltage source pulsewidth modulation (PWM) converter, with the grid interfaced photovoltaic energy conversion system being the main application. In such applications the ground leakage current [common mode current (CMC)] should be much less than an ampere and this is difficult to obtain in transformerless (direct) connected systems. With the target being the reduction of the common mode voltage (CMV) and CMC, the converter performance is ...
Active clamped ZVS forward converter with soft-switched synchronous rectifier for maximum efficiency operation Acik, A; Cadirci, I (1998-05-22) An active-clamped, zero-voltage switched forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier is designed and implemented for some low output voltage applications where maximized efficiency is of utmost importance. The converter efficiency is maximized due to soft-switching of the main, active clamp and the synchronous rectifier MOSFET switches. Experimental results are presented for a converter with a de input voltage of 48V, an output voltage of 5V and a de electronic load up to 10A. The ...
Topology and PWM Method Dependency of High Frequency Leakage Current Characteristics of Voltage Source Inverter Driven AC Motor Drives Cetin, N. Onur; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2012-09-20) In PWM inverter based AC motor drives, high frequency common-mode voltage (CMV) causes high frequency common-mode current (CMC, motor leakage current). With its magnitude reaching ampere levels, the CMC can induce bearing failures, drive nuisance trips, EMC issues etc. The CMC is dependent on the inverter topology (two or three-level), PWM method (pulse pattern), and the filters if active/passive mitigation methods used. This paper investigates the CMV/CMC properties of the two and three-level VSIs [with an...
