Voltage and Current Transducers must have accurate amplitude and
phase response for all the harmonics that contribute to πππ‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘. Any
βFalseβ harmonics, π£π£ππ or ππππ , introduced by cross-talk, will generate an
error in the πππ‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘π‘ if ππππππππππis β 0 and may be significant if
ππππ approaches 0 and ππππππππππ is = 1.
8. Cross Talk Mechanisms
For a variable speed motor drive used in transport applications,
the voltage signal rise and fall times can be as short as 50ns,
implying significant spectrum components to 6MHz. The
wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation at 6MHz is about
50m. In a Motor Drive Test Cell, the dimensions of possible
βantennasβ within the signal measurement cables are typically
less than 5m so simple capacitance and inductive coupling
models, rather than electromagnetic wave coupling, can be used
for a simplified analysis.

11. Capacitive Cross Coupling from the high voltage,
high current cables
Capacitive Cross Coupling from the high voltage ππ π‘π‘ on the motor drive cables can be
substantially reduced by shielding the drive-to-motor cables in the vicinity of the
Current Transducer and signal cables. Self adhesive copper tape can be wrapped
around the cables for a length of greater than three Current Transducer Head
diameters. The shielding must be grounded at one end only and near the AC Drive so
that the shield high frequency current, πππ(π‘π‘), is returned to the AC drive in a short, low
inductance path.
There will still be some capacitive coupling between the Drive-to-Motor cables and
signal cables giving rise to a cross coupling current ππβ²β²
π‘π‘ with ππβ²β²
π‘π‘ << ππβ²
π‘π‘ . This can
be reduced by shielding the signal cables.

12. Capacitive Cross Coupling from the high voltage,

The Current Transducer to Burden Resister signal cable should be a twisted pair (to

13. Capacitive Cross Coupling from the high voltage, high current cables.
Addition of a Common-Mode Choke to a Signal Pair.
Even with a shielding of the drive-to-motor cables and shielded signal cables, there
still can be a residual cross-talk, particularly at higher frequencies. A common-mode
choke is effective in providing a relatively high impedance to a current on only one line
of the signal pair. Single turn, clamp-on, common-mode shunts can have an
impedance of about 10ohm at 1MHz and 30ohm at 6MHz to give a reduction of
spurious signals at a 2ohm Burden Resistor of between 5 and 15 times. This
demonstrates one benefit of using a current source Current Transducer with a remote,
low resistance Burden Resistor, π π π΅π΅.

15. Capacitive Cross Coupling from the high voltage, high current cables.
βGroundingβ of high frequency capacitively coupled currents.
To minimize capacitive coupling from the high frequency voltages and for safety, it is
often preferable to use shielded Drive to Motor Cables. The parasitic currents πππ π π‘π‘ +
πππΆπΆ π‘π‘ are returned by the cable shields. However, to measure the phase currents
requires the shields be broken so the parasitic currents return outside the Current
Transducer aperture. A separate low impedance return from the Motor to the Drive
must be added. This direct return combines with the safety grounds to generate a
potentially large βground loopβ in which current can be induced by changing magnetic
fields. As far as feasible the loop area should be minimized. High frequency current
can be reduced by clamp-on ferrite on the safety ground leads.

16. Summary
1. In the measurement of power transfer in high power variable speed motor drives a
significant source of error in the power calculation can be the generation of βfalseβ current
harmonics arising from capacitive coupling to the current channel from the high frequency
voltage harmonics.
2. Shield all cables carrying high voltage to reduce capacitive coupling to the Current
Transducer and associated signal lines.
3. To minimize the effects of capacitive coupling from the high frequency voltage harmonics,
use current source (high impedance) Transducers rather than voltage source Transducers.
This is particularly important for the Current Transducers.
4. Locate Transducers near the Drive rather than the Motor to avoid magnetic fields from the
Motor generating cross-talk signals in the Transducers.
5. Capacitively induced currents in the cable shields should be explicitly returned to the
source common with short, low impedance return leads. Low frequency magnetic fields
from the motor currents can be reduced by minimizing the area enclosed by high currents.
6. Grounding for electrical safety compliance should be separately considered from the return
of high frequency, capacitively coupled currents.
7. High frequency currents reduced in ground loops can be reduced by clamp on ferrites on
the safety ground leads.
