Abstract
This article deals with circuit modeling of power systems and more particularly of DC–AC converters used for controlling electric motors. The objective of the model is to be able to assess conducted emission currents at both inputs and outputs for fixed operating power in order to apply appropriate mitigation design rules, such as filtering. First, we propose a linear Thevenin block model of the converter considering it as a five-port linear black box allowing possible interaction between the DC and AC ports. To this extent, the block model is made of an impedance matrix and a Thevenin voltage generators vector. We also propose theoretical relationships allowing the processing of data to generate this model from measurements. Then, we test the linear simplifications on a real DC–AC converter and compare the results to measurements. For this, S -parameter measurements in off -mode and currents at the five ports in on -mode are used for the characterization of the model on a first test setup. The model is then applied and checked by comparing circuit simulated and measured current responses on a modified test setup for which the lengths of the connection cables are modified. Finally, the capability of this block model to extrapolate by calculation the response of other installation configurations is shown considering a filter and its insertion at input/output ports of the converter with much longer cables.Keywords
