Whitepaper: How to measure and reduce common mode EMI in electric drive installations
Oct. 28, 2021
Electric machines are often driven by power electronic converters. Even though the use of converters brings with it a variety of advantages, common mode (CM) signals are a frequent problem in many installations. It is essential to measure the common mode quantities in order to take suitable countermeasures. This whitepaper discusses a simple, reliable and accurate way to do so and the effectiveness of different countermeasures.
