5.3.2 Sources of EMI
Modern frequency converters (see illustration below) utilise Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) to provide an efficient and cost effective means to create
the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) output waveform necessary for accurate motor control. These devices rapidly switch the fixed DC bus voltage creating a variable
frequency, variable voltage PWM waveform. This high rate of voltage change [dV/dt] is the primary source of the frequency converter generated EMI.
The high rate of voltage change caused by the IGBT switching creates high frequency EMI.
