This paper presents an intensive discussion on modeling an adjustable-speed motor drive system consisting of a voltage-source PWM inverter and an induction motor that are connected by a three-phase symmetric, long cable with a grounding wire lead. Then, it describes a design procedure for a parallel-connected R-L filter in each phase that can mitigate the overvoltage appearing at the motor terminals. The model developed in this paper focuses on the inherent “ringing frequency” of the cable, where the ringing frequency is inversely proportional to cable length. When no filter is used, the so-called “impedance mismatch” causes the reflection of a voltage-traveling wave at both the inverter and the motor terminals. As a result, the impedance mismatch generates an overvoltage that may reach twice the inverter dc-link voltage at the motor terminals. The overvoltage may damage the motor-winding insulation, and may cause it to breakdown. Although an R-L filter installed on the ac side of the inverter can reduce the overvoltage, it would be difficult to design the filter effectively for long cables of different lengths. The effectiveness and validity of the simple design procedure described in this paper are confirmed on a 400-V, 15-kW experimental system with either a 100-m or 200-m-long cable.
