Abstract

An improved EMI filter design is provided for an inverter operated dynamoelectric machine. A lossy balun wound choke is connected between a power supply in the form of a bridge rectifier and the inverter. The choke acts as a source resistance. Using the choke as the source resistance, an equiripple approximation to linear phase filter is derived. The filter is placed on the input side of the bridge rectifier. A method of designing an EMI filter for use in conjunction with an inverter operated dynamoelectric machine.
