131 - Stray Capacitance Analysis of a Motor Module:EL 2011-02-28
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.
