ELECTRIC MOTOR CONTROL BY VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES


Technology
AEGIS®

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are widely used to control electric motors in applications from HVAC to manufacturing to electric
vehicles. Current estimates suggest that up to 30% of electric motors are controlled by VFD. These drives can run motors at a wide
range of speeds. This enables precise control, and also significant energy savings in variable torque applications (fans, pumps, etc.).

VFDs do this by a process called pulse width modulation (PWM), rectifying AC voltage from the mains (Figure 1), storing it in the DC
bus, and then releasing precisely timed pulses of voltage to simulate a sinusoidal waveform (Figure 2). The pulses are typically
controlled by IGBTs, a type of diode with very high switching speeds (around 100 nanoseconds, or one ten-millionth of a second).

Common Mode Voltage (CMV)


Installation
Factory

With line power, the voltage of the three phases always adds to zero (black line in Figure 1). This minimizes the risk of charging stray
capacitances when three phase machines are run on line voltage. This is not the case with PWM voltage. The “common mode voltage,”
the average of the three phase voltages (Figure 3), has peak values of hundreds of volts. This large CMV produces stray currents in
electric motors by charging internal capacitances. The problem is made worse by the drive’s fast switching speeds, which lead to rapid

voltage changes (“high dv/dt”) in the phase and CM voltages.

The CMV causes several problems in motors, but we are only concerned with bearing currents. When voltage pulses reach the motor,
AEGIS®

they charge the rotor, creating a voltage on the shaft, and also drive high frequency current into the frame. Shaft voltage can discharge
through the bearings, and high frequency current in the frame can drive high frequency circulating current and rotor ground current
through the bearings.

The common mode voltage from the VFD produces a charge

[Figure 1]. (This is the same phenomenon as a static-charged


balloon attracting hair). Voltage builds up on the shaft because,
when the motor is running, there is no conductive path from the
rotor to ground. In the motor bearings, a thin layer of lubricant
separates the rolling elements and raceways. The lubricant is an

insulator, like air. But like air breaking down in a lightning strike,
lubricant will break down and conduct electricity if the voltage
across it gets high enough.
If the shaft voltage gets high enough, it will discharge by
arcing through the bearing [Figure 2]· This has two main

deleterious effects:

● It blasts out microscopic pits in the smooth surfaces


of the bearing
● It contaminates the lubricant with microscopic
metal debris
Electric
Vehicle

Although the damage from one individual discharge is small, the


damage is cumulative, and these arcs may occur thousands of Figure 1
times per second. Damaged grease and roughened bearings will
cause increasing heat, noise, and vibration. Premature bearing
failure is likely if protective measures are not taken.
Grounding

Our recommended best practice is to install one AEGIS® Shaft

drives. An AEGIS® ring provides a path of least resistance to Event
electrical charge/voltage on the shaft, so instead of arcing
through the bearing, it flows harmlessly through the ring to

Insulating both motor bearings can also protect them from
shaft voltage discharge. However, without shaft grounding,
the shaft voltage will still be present. This can lead to the shaft

coupled equipment. So insulating the motor bearings without


grounding the shaft can simply transfer the damage to the
driven equipment.

frequency magnetic flux inside the motor [Figure 1, green]. This
flux in turn induces a high frequency end-to-end shaft voltage

The best way to combat HFCC is to install one hybrid/ceramic


bearing to interrupt the current path. If current can’t get

practice, an insulated sleeve or coating is usually good enough

HFCC can also be reduced with common mode chokes, which Figure 1

BEARING CURRENT 3: ROTOR GROUND CURRENT

Technology
AEGIS®
Common mode current moves from the stator windings to the

AC Motors
motor frame (curved yellow arrows), and returns to the drive.

Small
This may be through the ground conductors or shielding of the
power cable, or through the facility ground. These are safe
paths. But if the cable is not suitable, or is improperly installed,
or the motor is poorly grounded, the current will seek other
return paths.

AC Motors
Large
If the motor’s driven equipment is better grounded than the
motor itself, rotor ground current may be a problem. In rotor
ground current, common mode current in the frame arcs through
a motor bearing to the shaft, travels through the shaft to the
coupled equipment, arcs through the equipment bearings, and

Motors
then goes to ground/returns to the drive. So rotor ground current

DC
damages the motor and the load bearings simultaneously.
The single best way to avoid Bearing Current 3 is by using
proper VFD cable. Typically, that means shielded cable, with
symmetrically arranged conductors within. But VFD cable can

Electric
Vehicle
be very expensive. As with HFCC, common mode chokes can
combat this bearing current as well. Common mode chokes,
however, do not reduce Bearing Current 1/EDM Current.
A more affordable way to avoid rotor ground current is to bond

Grounding
the motor frame to the equipment frame with a high frequency

Motor
grounding strap, like the AEGIS® HFGS. These are tin-plated
braided copper straps with very low impedance to high
frequency current. The destructive path through the bearings
has higher impedance. So with a grounding strap, if the

will get to the equipment through the strap, instead of arcing

High Peak to Peak common mode voltage


AC Motors

Typically 20 to 120 volts peak to peak (10 to 60 volts peak). The waveform at

right shows the capacitive coupled common mode voltage on the shaft of
the motor. The “six-step” wave form is the result of the 3 phases of pulses
from the VFD. The timing of the pulse width modulation (PWM) pulses to
the motor from the drive determines what the waveform looks like.
AC Motors

Sometimes it will look like a square wave.

This six-step or square wave is what is seen when there is no bearing


discharge and the peak to peak shaft voltage is at its maximum level.
The voltage may eventually overcome the dielectric in non-isolated
bearings and begin discharging.

showing a “Before & After”. Since only a small number of conductive

microfibers are touching the shaft the shaft voltage may be higher than

3. Inspect the grease and any contamination in the bearing. Shaft Voltage
Testing
a. B
 urnt Grease: Continuous electrical arcing in the motor bearings will
often rapidly deteriorate the lubricating capability of the grease and
cause bearing race damage. When an arc occurs, the oil component
of the grease is heated beyond its temperature capacity.
Inspection
Bearing

b. C
 ontamination: In addition to the burnt grease, the arcing causes
small metal particles to detach from the bearing races/balls, which then
get distributed throughout the grease. These particles are abrasive and
will cause the bearing to prematurely wear.

6. Frosting: This will appear to be a grey discolored line around all or part of
the bearing race and may be evident in both the inner and outer race. The
discoloration may be caused by mechanical wear or by EDM. Examination

there is debris, powder, dirt, liquids, lubricants, or other contaminants. For these
applications the AEGIS® PROSLR incorporates a rubber dust and debris barrier to
protect against ingress of materials that could interfere with the contact of the
conductive microfibers to the motor’s shaft.
