Analysis and Suppression of Common-Mode Voltage in Open-End Winding Induction Motor Drive System Fed by Dual Inverter

Dual inverter fed open-end winding induction motor (OEW-IM) is a new solution for multilevel drive. Comparing with traditional multilevel converters, the dual inverter is being interested in for its more flexible current control, the absence of fluctuating neutral point, and fault-tolerant capability. This paper analyzes the potential common-mode voltage (CMV) in the open-end winding induction motor system, and proposes a new space vector PWM (SVPWM) strategy to reduce the CMV. The proposed method is validated by simulations and experiments.
