Abstract

The emergence of wide-bandgap (WBG) power devices opens opportunities for current source inverters (CSIs) to provide a promising alternative drive configuration for motor drive applications. The sinusoidal output voltage of CSI offers significant advantages for numerous motor drive applications, including reducing the risks associated with motor terminal overvoltages and bearing discharge currents. This paper compares the performance of CSIs and voltage source inverters (VSIs) with the same performance capabilities. More specifically, sine filters are added to the VSI output terminals to match the CSI performance, and a front-end boost converter is added to the VSI to match the CSI's voltage-boost capability. The results show that the CSI active components require 48% less volume than the VSI, combined with other performance advantages that make it an appealing candidate for some future motor drive applications.
