However, interleaving also creates a voltage difference between the two converters, and requires interphase inductors to limit the circulating current. The additional weight of interphase inductors make the passive component heavier in the interleaving topology in motor drive applications. In order to reduce the total weight of passive components, an interphase inductor can be integrated with the load indcutor or DM inductors in the EMI filter with negligible increase in the weight, as shown in Fig. 3. The maximum integrated inductance is related to the interleaving angle and system operation conditions, which can be designed analytically.
