Neutral point voltage control converters (NPVCC) are being considered for AC drive applications, and a three-dimensional reduced common mode voltage PWM (3D RCMV-PWM) technique is proposed to effectively reduce CMV in five-phase six-leg NPVCCs. The mathematical description, simulation, and experimental analysis validate the capability of CMV reduction in addition to the good behavior in terms of efficiency and harmonic distortion.
Neutral point voltage control converters (NPVCC) are being considered for AC drive applications, where their additional degree of freedom can be used for different purposes, such as fault tolerance or common mode voltage (CMV) reduction. For every PWM-driven converter, the CMV is an issue that must be considered since it can lead to shaft voltages between rotor and stator windings, generating bearing currents that accelerate bearing degradation, and can also produce a high level of electromagnetic interference (EMI). In light of these considerations, in this paper a three-dimensional reduced common mode voltage PWM (3D RCMV-PWM) technique is proposed which effectively reduces CMV in five-phase six-leg NPVCCs. The mathematical description of both the converter and the modulation technique, in space-vector and carrier-based approaches, is included. Furthermore, the simulation and experimental analysis validate the CMV reduction capability in addition to the good behaviour in terms of the efficiency and harmonic distortion of the proposed RCMV-PWM algorithm.
