[PSES] High Touch Current in Industrial Machinery

2024-02-16 Thread Brian Kunde
I am working on an Industrial Machine with a 3-phase 5hp motor driven by a VFD. To pass the EMC conducted emissions requirements, we had to add a RF Line Filter that is recommended by the VFD manufacturer. This filter has large Y-Caps. I know these currents theoretically cancel out in a balanced s

Brian, You can try a low leakage 3-phase EMI filter design. This is where your magnetic stage(s) are unchanged and three existing large Y-caps are tied together to form a wye configuration between phases; the center tie point of the wye is not directly earthed. Instead, use a fourth Y-cap tied be
