Summary of the invention
The arrangement according to the invention comprises a power bridge connected between an AC voltage circuit and a DC voltage circuit, which power bridge comprises controllable switches for supplying electric power between the AC voltage circuit and the DC voltage circuit. The arrangement also comprises an unearthed common-mode filter circuit, which filter circuit is connected between the aforementioned AC voltage circuit and aforementioned DC voltage circuit, in connection with the power bridge. This means that the current path for the interference to be filtered connects from the AC voltage circuit back to the DC intermediate circuit, and consequently it is not necessary to conduct the interference to the ground plane. When interference is not conducted to the ground plane, ground leakage currents produced in the interference filtering dissipate or are at least essentially reduced. The term "unearthed common-mode filter circuit" means that the aforementioned filter circuit is not, in itself, connected to a ground potential from any point whatsoever.

The motor bridge 6 comprises for each phase R, S, T of the alternating-current motor 16 a high-side IGBT transistor 8A connected to the positive busbar 2A of the DC intermediate circuit as well as a low-side IGBT transistor 8B connected to the negative busbar 2B of the DC intermediate circuit. The phase R, S, T of the AC motor 16 is connected to the connection point of the aforementioned high-side 8A and low-side 8B IGBT transistors.
The IGBT transistors 7 A, 7B, 8 A, 8B of both the network bridge 5 and the motor bridge 6 are connected by producing with a control circuit, such as with a DSP processor, short, preferably PWM modulated, pulses in the gates of the IGBT transistors. By connecting alternately the IGBT transistors of the high-side 7A, 8 A and of the low-side 7B, 8B, a PWM modulated pulse pattern forms from the DC voltages of the positive busbar 2A and the negative busbar 2B in the AC outputs of the network bridge 5 and of the motor bridge 6, the frequency of the pulses of which pulse pattern is essentially greater than the frequency of the fundamental frequency of the AC voltage. The amplitude and frequency of the fundamental frequency of the output voltages can in this case be changed steplessly by adjusting the modulation index of the PWM modulation.
In the embodiment of Fig. 1 the neutral conductor of the three-phase AC network 15 is earthed in the supply distribution panel, in which case the main circuit of the frequency converter is in fixed contact with ground potential. In this case switching of, in particular, the IGBT transistors 7A, 7B of the network bridge 5 produces common- mode interference, which tries to travel into the AC network 15. The distributed capacitance between the motor windings and the frame of the motor, on the other hand, produces common-mode interference caused by the switching of the IGBT transistors 8A, 8B of the motor bridge 6, which interference travels via the distributed capacitance into the frame of the motor. The common-mode interference of the network bridge 5 also tries to travel into the motor 16.
An unearthed common-mode filter circuit is connected between the phases LI, L2, L3 of the network bridge 5 and the negative busbar 2B of the DC intennediate circuit.
said filter circuit comprising, connected in series, a common-mode choke 9, star- connected filter capacitors 10 and also a resistor 12. The filter circuit 9, 10, 12 could also be connected to the positive intermediate circuit busbar 2A, instead of to the negative intermediate circuit busbar 2B, or, if instead of one intermediate circuit capacitor 19 the intermediate circuit has two intermediate circuit capacitors connected in series with each other between the positive 2A and the negative 2B intermediate circuit busbar, the filter circuit 9, 10, 12 could be connected to the connection point of the aforementioned capacitors. The values of the components of the filter circuit 9, 10, 12 are selected in such a way that the filter circuit forms a current path for common- mode interference from the phases LI, L2, L3 of the network bridge 5 to the negative busbar 2B of the DC voltage circuit, in which case the common-mode interference tries to convert into heat in the resistor 12 of the filter circuit.
A similar filter circuit 9, 10, 12 is also formed between the phases R. S, T of the motor bridge 6 and the negative intermediate circuit busbar 2B of the DC intermediate circuit. On the side of the motor bridge 6, however, the choke 9 must have, in addition to common-mode inductance, also differential-mode inductance owing to the capacitors 10 connected to the phases R, S, T of the motor bridge. Since the filter circuit 9, 10, 12 on the motor bridge 6 side is otherwise similar in its operation to the filter circuit of a network bridge 5, in the following only the operation of a filter circuit 9, 10, 12 of a network bridge 5 is described in more detail.
The single-phase equivalent circuit of the filter circuit 9, 10, 12 of the network bridge 5 (and thus also of the motor bridge 6) is presented in Fig. 2.
The following abbreviations are used for the components of the filter circuit: inductance of the common-mode choke 9: L capacitance of the filter capacitors 10: C resistor 12: R
R
CR ml =
Correspondingly, when the poles of the band-pass filter are on the real axis, obtained as the equation of the transmission function is:
_ I/As) ωι κ
UCM {s) {s + ^ )
So that damping of the common-mode interference can be perforaied by selecting for the filter the desired bandwidth eoLR .
From the preceding equations, obtained as the selection criteria for the components of the filter circuit are: R = G R
L
fi¾-L
Selected as the values of the components in the embodiment of Fig. 1 are: inductance of the common-mode choke 9: 1.5 mH values for the filter capacitors 10: lOuF value for resistor: 5Ω.
In this case with the filter circuit 9, 10, 12, damping of 16 decibel common-mode voltage is achieved at a frequency of 10 kilohertz. The filter circuit also damps a 10 kilohertz current with 30 decibel damping as well as a 150 hertz current with 30 decibel damping. Figs. 3a and 3b present some alternative circuit diagrams of the filter circuit, which are suited for use in the frequency converter of Fig. 1.
The filter circuit of Fig. 3a differs from the filter circuit of Fig. 1 in that the filter circuit has three resistors 12, every other pole of which resistors is connected to a filter capacitor 10 and every other pole is connected together with the other resistors 12 into a neutral point 13. The resistors 12 also damp the differential- mode resonances of the filter circuit. The values of the components are selected as follows: filter capacitor 10: 10 uF resistor 12: 15Ω common-mode choke 9: 1.5 mH in which case UCM damping of 16 decibel common-mode voltage is achieved with the circuit at a frequency of 10 kilohertz. The filter circuit also damps a current of 10 kilohertz frequency flowing in the filter circuit with 30 decibel damping as well as a current of 150 hertz frequency with 30 decibel damping.
In Fig. 3b the filter circuit comprises three filter capacitors 10 star-connected with each other, every other pole of which filter capacitors is connected to a different phase LI, L2, L3 of the network bridge 5 and every other pole is connected together with the other filter capacitors 10 into a neutral point 13. The neutral point 13 is connected to the negative busbar 2B of the DC intermediate circuit. The filter circuit also comprises a common-mode choke 9, which is connected in series with the filter capacitors 10.
The resonance frequency of the filter circuits of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3a is adjusted to one kilohertz. The filter circuit of Fig. 3b differs from the filter circuits of Fig. 1 and Fig.
3a in that the filter circuit of Fig. 3b does not have a resistor 12 damping the resonances. Consequently the resonance frequency of the filter circuit of Fig. 3b must be selected in such a way that no resonance frequency excitations occur in the system.
The resonance frequency of the filter circuit of Fig. 3b can be selected e.g. to be significantly higher than the filter circuits of Fig. I and of Fig. 3a, e.g. to be approx.
150 kilohertz, in which case also the power losses occurring in the common-mode chokes damp the resonances. In this case the filter circuit of Fig. 3b is not, of course, suited to filtering switching-frequency interference of 10 kilohertz, but the filter circuit can be used for filtering higher- frequency EMC interference.
In this embodiment of the invention the switching frequency of the IGBT transistors 7A, 7B of the network bridge is 10 kilohertz, whereas the switching frequency of the IGBT transistors 8 A, 8B of the motor bridge is 3.5 kilohertz, so that when dimensioning the components 9, 10, 11, 12 of the filter circuit of a motor bridge, the values of the filter components must change the change in switching frequency.
It is obvious to the person skilled in the art that e.g. MOSFET transistors, bipolar transistors or corresponding components can be used, instead of IGBT transistors, as the controllable switches 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B of the network bridge 5 and of the motor bridge 6.
It is further obvious to the person skilled in the art that the network-bridge- side common-mode choke 9 of the filter circuit as well as the capacitors 10 could also be
connected between the LCL circuit 17 and the network bridge 5, or between the chokes in the center of the LCL circuit.
The invention is described above by the aid of a few examples of its embodiment. It is obvious to the person skilled in the art that the invention is not only limited to the embodiments described above, but that many other applications are possible within the scope of the inventive concept defined by the claims.
