Common mode voltage<br />

Two more figures will be added, to fully represent the EMI measurements for the con-<br />

verter. A comparison <strong>of</strong> the common mode voltage will be reported for both converters,<br />

running with the same conditions as described before.<br />

The common mode voltage is described as the voltage across the star point and the<br />

ground[50] and usually this, for a general balanced sinusoidal three phase load, it is<br />

zero. However, when a converter is added to the system, this is not true any more be-<br />

cause <strong>of</strong> the coupling <strong>of</strong> the switched currents/voltages with the various parasitics in<br />

the system.<br />

The two CM voltage measurements therefore has been measured and reported in 5.21<br />

regarding the matrix converter and in 5.22 for the two level converter.<br />
