Abstract
High-frequency simulation models for power cables and motors are key tools to aid a better understanding of the overvoltage problem in pulsewidth modulation drives with long feeders. In this paper, frequency responses of the cable characteristic and the motor input impedances are obtained experimentally and suitable models are developed to match the experimental results. Several lumped segments incorporating a lossy representation of the line are used to model the cable. The cable and induction motor models may be implemented using a computational tool such as MATLAB, thereby providing a convenient method to analyze the overvoltage phenomena. Simulation and experimental results are presented for a typical 3-hp induction motor, showing the suitability of the developed simulation models. The most promising dv/dt filter networks are also investigated through simulation analysis, and a design approach based on a tradeoff between filter losses and motor peak voltage is proposed. Experimental results of an RC filter placed at the motor terminals demonstrate the validity of the simulation models.
