CHAPTER 8: FILTER REALIZATION AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS<br />
Figure 8.1: Output filter with component details<br />
The final layout for the components can be seen in Fig. 8.1 where all the parts are<br />
highlighted; it is worth mentioning that the weight <strong>of</strong> the whole output EMI filter is<br />
1.5kg, that is almost half <strong>of</strong> the matrix converter’s weight, that is 3.6kg.<br />
8.3 Experimental emission measurements<br />
This section collects and reports the current emission measurements before and after<br />
the filter insertion, to provide a final overview <strong>of</strong> the system after the filter have been set<br />
in place. Different measures have been carried out at different voltages and currents:<br />
two different input supplies have been fed to the converter: the aircraft one at 115Vrms,<br />
400Hz and the standard grid at 240Vrms, 50Hz. The modulation index, once the motor<br />
has started, has initially been kept constant at the final value <strong>of</strong> 0.7, while two different<br />
output frequency have been generated: 50Hz and 100Hz.<br />
A further set <strong>of</strong> measurements will also report measurements for different values <strong>of</strong><br />
