Abstract

A PWM inverter for an induction motor often has a problem with a high frequency leakage current that flows through stray capacitors between stator windings and a motor frame to ground. This paper proposes a new type of Active Common Mode Voltage Canceler circuit for the reduction of common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current generated by the PWM VSI-fed induction motor drives. The compensating voltage applied by the common made voltage canceler has the same amplitude as, hut the opposite polarity to, the common mode voltage by PWM Inverter. Therefore, common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current can be canceled. The proposed circuit consists of four-level half-bridge inverter and common-mode transformer. Simulated and experimental results show that common mode voltage canceler makes significant contributions to reducing a high frequency leakage current.

PWM 인버터에 의하여 구동되는 유도전동기는 뛰어난 동작특성을 가지고 있지만, 커먼 모드 전압과 고주파 누설전류를 야기한다. 이 고주파 누설 전류는 여러가지 문제점을 일으킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 일으키는 고주파 누설 전류와 커먼 모드 진압을 감쇄하기 위하여 커먼 모드 전압과 크기가 같고 반대극성을 가진 전압을 4 level half bridge 인버터를 이용하여 생성하고, 이것을 커먼 모드 transformer에 인가하여 고주파 누설 전류 역시 감쇄시킬 수 있는 새로운 형태의 능동형 커먼 모드 전압 감쇄기를 제안한다. 그리고 제안한 감쇄기의 동작 성능을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.
