Summary:In this paper, the cost-effective design of an output reactor
which is used to suppress the overvoltage at the motor terminal in an
adjustable-speed drive (ASD) application is proposed. The overvoltage
suppression mechanism of an output reactor in an ASD application is
analyzed and the dominant parameters of the output reactor for the
overvoltage suppression are extracted. Using these parameters as the
design values and considering the high-frequency characteristics of the
iron core in the reactor, a new cost-effective structure of the output
reactor is proposed. Experimental results of the conventional reactor
and the proposed reactor with a 15-kW induction motor are given to
verify the proposed scheme
