Abstract:Through parasite capacitive coupling between the stator and rotor, damaging voltages are induced on the shafts of AC motors controlled by PWM variable frequency drives. Harmful bearing current will be produced and eventually cause bearing failure. The coupling capacitances of AC motors are key parameters in predicting shaft voltage and bearing current. The modeling and calculation of motor capacitance are investigated in this paper. Based on the structure of motors, the analytic calculation of capacitance is carried out. The influence of the motor capacity and size on the capacitance and bearing voltage ratio is analyzed. Finite element method is adopted to analyze the capacitances. A scattered motor winding model is proposed to acquire rational capacitance Cwf. 3D finite element analysis shows that the end of winding is an important factor should be considered in calculating capacitance Cwr. Finally a new measurement method of motor capacitance for small and medium motor is introduced.
