AC motors that drive PWM inverters are widely used in household appliances.Motors used for PWM inverter power supplies are known to produce shaft voltage which reduces the reliability and life span of the motors.It is advantageous to investigate the stray capacitance using an analysis in advance because the shaft voltage is produced by the stray capacitance of the motor.This example presents the use of an electric field analysis to obtain the stray capacitance between the IPM motor's coil and stator core, rotor core and stator core, and inner and outer rings of the bearing.
73 - Analysis of Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor 73 - Analysis of Capacitance of a Parallel Plate Capacitor
Module:EL 2011-02-28
Two electrode plates are modeled and arranged in parallel, which has the basic structure of a capacitor. When the different electric potential is constantly applied to each plate, electric charge stored in the electrode plates varies with the relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the electrode plates. This note presents the use of magnetic field analysis to obtain the electric charges of both the air and the high permittivity material when they are placed between the electrode plates, and calculate the capacitance.
