In induction motor drives, the common-mode voltage appears between the start point of the induction motor and the ground. It causes common-mode current to flow through the motor bearings, which is harmful to the machine’s life. Let’s take a look at some of the other effects caused by common-mode mode voltage in inverters in the upcoming section.
This voltage difference in inverters is referred to as common-mode voltage. Consider a three-phase inverter supplied from a single DC source and connected to a three-phase load. In the three-phase inverter, the common-mode voltage can be measured between the load neutral point and the general ground.
Multilevel inverters generate lower common-mode voltage compared to two-level or three-level inverters. Therefore, increasing the output voltage levels by using multilevel inverters is one technique that can be employed for reducing the common-mode voltage in an electrical system with inverters.
In three-phase inverters, modifying the topology by adding a fourth leg is suitable for reducing the common-mode voltage. Utilizing dual bridge inverters is also a reduction method used for common-mode voltage in conventional inverters. These reduction techniques are based on hardware circuitry.
Consider a three-phase inverter supplied from a single DC source and connected to a three-phase load. In the three-phase inverter, the common-mode voltage can be measured between the load neutral point and the general ground. It can be expressed as the mean of the three output voltages measured at the respective phase with respect to common ground.
PWM-controlled inverters produce substantial common-mode voltage (CMV). CMV causes motor/drive malfunctions and, eventually, system breakdowns. CMV can greatly be reduced by using advanced inverter topologies and modulation techniques. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the many works published on this topic.
