Abstract

This paper presents a new technique to model the high frequency overvoltages and their associated currents due to the inverter supply and the cable length on PWM ASD-motors. Detailed mathematical formulas describing the transient voltage and current in the cable are developed. Modeling takes into account: cable physical (length) and electrical characteristics (R,L,G,C; inverter impedance as well as voltage rise and fall times; motor impedance. The proposed technique for modeling overvoltages, applicable for ASDs with lossless cables, proves to be faster during execution and more precise in simulation than the techniques used in PSB and EMTP softwares. It is more adapted to the ASDs in coordination between the systems and their feeding cables in order to protect the motor. This paper includes simulation results using Matlab/Simulink softwares and important experimental outcomes on an industrial 5 kVA ASD prototype
