Abstract
Inverter driven induction motors with high speed switching and advanced PWM techniques are widely used for variable speed applications. Recently, the insulation failures of stator windings have attracted much concern due to high dv/dt of IGBT PWM inverter output. In this paper, the detailed insulation test results of 25 low-voltage induction motors are presented. Five different types of insulation techniques are applied to 25 motors. The insulation characteristics are analyzed with partial discharge, discharge inception voltage, AC current, and dissipation factor tests. Also, breakdown tests by high voltage pulses are performed.
