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 characteristics of the reduced common mode voltage Near State PWM method Un, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2007-09-05) The Near State PWM (NSPWM) method, which has low common mode voltage/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 NSPWM has low common mode voltage, results in less common mode current, has low switchin...

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...
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...
Analysis and Characterization of DC Bus Ripple Current of Two-Level Inverters Using The Equivalent Centered Harmonic Approach Ayhan, Ufuk; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2011-09-22) The dc bus PWM ripple current of three-phase two-level voltage source inverters is a function of the PWM method, the load current magnitude, power factor angle, and the modulation index. Thus, the ripple current characteristics are highly involved and difficult to understand. Using the double Fourier integral approach, this paper investigates the ripple current characteristics thoroughly for a wide range of operating conditions and PWM methods. Then, the equivalent harmonic approach is used to lump the ripp...
