Limiting the rate of voltage rise and the voltage peaks by means of the motor reactor and dv/dt filter
plus Voltage Peak Limiter
IGBT converter switching frequencies result in high voltage gradients (dv/dt) at the converter
output. If long motor cables are used, this leads to an additional current load on the
converter due to capacitive charge/discharge currents. The high voltage gradients, and the
resulting transients at the motor terminals, cause the motors' electrical winding load to
increase as compared with direct on-line operation.
The dv/dt filter plus Voltage Peak Limiter limits the rate of voltage rise to values < 500 V/µs
and the typical voltage peaks Û
