Abstract
Conducting emission suppression in a power circuit for an electric motor comprises a negative temperature co-efficient resistor and capacitor connecting one of the power lines to ground. The NTC resistor is self-stabilizing so that changes in the load current are automatically compensated for.
Claims9
A power circuit for an electrical machine, the power circuit comprising power conductors for providing electrical power for the machine and a filter to dampen conducted emissions, the filter comprising a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor connecting at least one of the power conductors to ground and an inductance connected in parallel with the NTC resistor such that a voltage across the NTC resistor and a voltage across the inductance are substantially the same.
