  • Abstract
    Common mode voltage generated by PWM switching causes motor bearing failures in inverter-motor drive systems, since bearing current runs through parasitic capacitances and motor bearings to ground. In this paper, we propose a method of reducing bearing current with the use of an embedded circular comb-like coil in the stator slots. We verified the validity of the proposed method by simulation and experiment
