Differential Mode

The Inversine Advanced Universal Sine-wave Filter (AUSF) is designed to address the problems resulting from pulse width modulation. It is a low pass filter with cut-off frequency well below the switching frequency of the inverter.

The AUSF is much more than a simple dV/dT filter and will:

Substantially reduce voltage rise time (dV/dt)

Convert output voltage to near sinusoidal waveform (<3%)

Prevent transient overvoltages at motor terminals

Lower harmonic losses in the motor

Reduce motor noise

Reduce motor and cable insulation stress

Extend life of the motor and ASD

Common-Mode

Common-mode is the phase-to-ground voltage that appears as a result of the instantaneous sum of the 3-phase voltages of the PWM inverter not being zero even when the sum of the average 3-phase voltages is zero. Common-mode voltages will induce common-mode currents to flow through parasitic capacitance in the motor and motor feeder cable. High frequency capacitive coupling exists across the motor bearings and between the feeder conductor or motor winding and ground. Common-mode currents can lead to premature motor bearing failure.

The Inversine Common-mode Filter option will:

Reduce shaft voltage and bearing currents

Reduce cable leakage currents

Reduce common-mode voltages throughout power system

Lower harmonic losses in the motor

Features:

Low insertion loss and voltage drop(<2% of rated voltage)

No damping resistors required

Power delivered to motor >96%

Efficiency >98%

Improves Power Factor of the motor near unity

Reactive power compensation

Prevents transient overvoltages at motor terminals

Reduces motor noise

Filters out high frequency currents while allowing lower fundamental currents to pass

Reliable and proven performance
