The Problem • IGBT motor drive has fast switching and a PCB coupling path to the cables and motor. • EMI challenges due to the fast switching and various coupling paths need to be addressed.
Objectives and Benefits • Technical • Determine EMI coupling paths • PSpice model IGBT • Cable and motor model with and without ferrites • EMI mitigation possibilities • Knowledge transfer • EMI diagnostic procedures • Numerical modeling for EMC purposes
