ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First of all I humbly remember the grace and blessings that God Almighty bestowed on
me, without which my attempt would not have been a success.
This seminar would not have been possible without the sincere guidance of a number of
eminent people. I take this opportunity to acknowledge our heartfelt gratitude to our respected
Principal Prof. (Dr.) David K. Daniel for providing all the necessary facilities in this institution.
I express profound and sincere thanks to Prof. S. Muhammed Kasim, Head of the
Department, Dept. of Electrical & Electronics Engineering for giving me the opportunity to
undertake this seminar.
I would like to thank my seminar coordinator, Mrs. Joby John, Asst. Professor in
Electrical & Electronics Engineering and seminar guide, Ms. Sarika Raju, Asst. Professor in
Electrical & Electronics Engineering for their valuable advices, guidance and valuable
suggestions which helped me in the progress of this work.
I would also like to thank all the faculty members of Department of Electrical and
Electronics Engineering for their help and cooperation.
I owe my incalculable debt to my parents, friends and all others for their insightful

ABSTRACT

In the case PWM driven motor we previously succeeded in reducing the shaft voltage of
a PWM driven motor with a rotor which had an outer core and an inner core (and the shaft),
electrically insulated each other by a resin (hereafter, the insulated rotor). Here we discuss a new
method for further reduction of the shaft voltage of a motor with an insulated rotor by adding a
capacitor between brackets and N line of the dc link of the inverter. A common-mode equivalent
circuit of the system with an ungrounded motor is examined, and the effect of further reduction
by the new method is verified by calculation of the shaft voltage from the equivalent circuit and
measurement of the shaft voltage of the motor.
