Page 9 of 9 2016-MC-0749 Models for motor and cables were used to evaluate the highfrequency phenomena in the system Some proper simplifications were taken into consideration in order to achieve the design goals with reduced simulation times This analysis, therefore, led to the conception of a common-mode choke as a solution for motor safe operation Also during the simulations, it was observed that the use of an inductive damping resistor at the CMC caused the phase-toground peak voltages to surpass the winding insulation limit An alternative solution was proposed and analyzed: the midpoint grounding resistor This MGR applied to the inverter side was capable of providing further reduction in the phase peak voltages A phase-to-ground overvoltage effect was also observed in the system Although the magnitude of such effect is lower than in the motor side, more severe are also the standard requirements at the grid side due to its impact in other linear and non-linear loads supplied by the same bus For this case, a possible solution is the installation of a capacitance in parallel to the transformer grounding resistor in order to provide a low impedance path for high frequency currents Field results showed, in the end, that the simplifications assumed in simulations were acceptable for the goals established to obtain a functional and safe system The MGR was installed in the actual drive in order to implement the modifications suggested by models and achieved all the expected results Maximum insulation limits were preserved as well as safe motor and system operation [] A von Jouanne, P Enjeti, W Gray, "Application issues for PWM adjustable speed AC motor drives," EEE nd Appl Mag, vol 2, no 5, pp 10-18, Sept/Oct, 1996 [12] Motors and Generators, NEMA MG 1,2014 [13] Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems -
