The model is based on Thevenin equivalent of a two terminal network. Investigations re-vealed that in differential mode (DM), the input and output side of the motor-drive can be considered decoupled, provided the dc-link at the input side is adequately decoupled. Under this assumption the DM model can be split and extracted independently for both input and output side. This idea is shown in Fig. 1.
The model impedances (ZDM-dc and ZDM-ac) are approximated using direct measurements under power-off conditions and the model sources (VDM-dc and VDM-ac) are extracted experimentally using terminal modelling techniques. Once the models are extracted, the prediction of DM EMI currents for an input side DM filter shown in Fig. 2 is carried out. Also, the total noise is estimated by adding the predicted noise from the DM model and the CM noise from the previously developed CM model. These prediction results are shown in Fig. 3 and 4.
