Electromagnetic Interference
This chapter discusses types of electromagnetic interference and its impact
on drive systems.
What Causes Common
Mode Noise
Faster output dv/dt transitions of IGBT drives increase the possibility for
increased Common Mode (CM) electrical noise. Common Mode Noise is a
type of electrical noise induced on signals with respect to ground.
There is a possibility for electrical noise from drive operation to interfere
with adjacent sensitive electronic equipment, especially in areas where
many drives are concentrated. Generating common mode currents by
varying frequency inverters is similar to the common mode currents that
occur with DC drives. Although AC drives produce a much higher
frequency then DC drives (250 kHz - 6MHz). Inverters have a greater
potential for exciting circuit resonance because of very fast turn on switches
causing common mode currents to look for the lowest impedance path back
to the inverter. The dv/dt and di/dt from the circulating ground currents can
couple into the signal and logic circuits, causing improper operation and
possible circuit damage. When conventional grounding techniques do not
work you must use high frequency bonding techniques. If installers do not
use these techniques, motor bearing currents increase and system circuit
boards have the potential to fail prematurely. Currents in the ground system
