Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) are extensively used in commercial and industrial heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC/R) equipment's because of many advantages in control and energy savings. The ASDs use PWM inverter with high speed switching devices such as Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) generates the common mode voltage (V cm). This V cm causes the bearing voltage (V b), which leads to premature bearing failure.In some industrial applications the PWM inverters and the motors are located separately thus requiring long motor cable. Which contributes over voltage and higher V cm at the motor terminal due to the voltage reflection phenomenon. Higher the common mode voltage results in higher induced V b. This paper presents modeling, simulation and analysis of bearing current, bearing voltage in PWM multilevel inverter fed induction motor of 5HP and 10HP Motors and THD Analysis of PWM MLI fed induction motor without long cable is done. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB Simulink.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
