Improving High-Frequency Performance of an Input Common Mode EMI Filter Using an Impedance-Mismatching Filter
Fig. 1. DC-fed motor drive system with EMI Filters
In real applications, dead time is necessary to avoid a shoot-through error in the converter. Dead time (DT) will change the voltage noise source in the prediction model as shown in Figure 3, therefore it also changes the volt-second on the inductor. Figure 4 shows the impact of DT on inductor volt-second with continuous SVM modulation method. The results show that the impact of dead time on inductor saturation is related to system modulation methods, dead time value and also the value selection of the inductors and capacitors of the EMI filters. The dc-fed motor drive system with an output EMI filter is chosen as an example, and the analyzing method can also be applied to other converters.
