About the Simulation Tool
The motor voltage simulation on this website is a simplified version of simulation tools developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for research into passive filters for motor protection. It is a tool to help users understand how motor drive waveforms interact with the cable and motor. Note that this simulation tool uses a simplified model of the cable and motor, and therefore may not be a completely accurate representation of the voltages in a real system.
About Integrated Filters
The integrated dv/dt filter was created at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, within the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium (WEMPEC). This filter integrates the magnetic field of the inductor and the electric field of the capacitor into a common volume, allowing for a very compact dv/dt filter that can be integrated directly onto the output bus bars of the drive. More information on this concept can be found here and in the publications and patents listed below.
