Description
Summary:Due to the existing coupling loop between the motor drive system and the ground, when switching devices in the drive system operate at a high speed, common-mode (CM)-conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) is generated in the loop. The electromagnetic environment quality of the motor and peripheral equipment is reduced. As a small and lightweight EMI suppression device, the active EMI filter (AEF) can be used in the motor drive system to suppress the CM-conducted EMI. As the unity gain bandwidth of the operational amplifier (OPAMP) in the AEF is fixed, the CM-conducted EMI suppression effect of the AEF is poor. To solve this problem, the multiple-amplification-channel method is used to spread the frequency range of the CM voltage that the AEF can sense; therefore, the frequency of the compensation current output using the AEF is more complete, and a better CM-conducted EMI attenuation effect is obtained. At the same time, a combination of the period frequency carrier modulation (PCFM) and the multi-amplification-channel AEF is adopted so that the CM-conducted EMI in the whole EMI frequency range of the motor drive system is effectively suppressed.
