Common Mode Currents in Electrical Circuits

Common mode current paths are parasitic in nature. They flow through the metallic, conductive structures that surround the circuit. Naturally, the conductive surroundings for any given circuit are hard to predict, especially for equipment manufacturers selling to a broad range of customers!

Next Generation of Electric Vehicle Motors – The Silent Treatment

The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a potential contender for the next-generation electric vehicle traction motor because of its low cost, high efficiency, and ability to operate at higher temperatures and in other harsh environments.

Active vibration control systems reduce maintenance cost, allow integration of SRM across markets

SRM technology has many advantages including low production costs, relatively low cost materials, durability in harsh conditions, and tolerance to phase winding faults. Nevertheless, excessive vibration and noise have hindered the penetration of SRM into many defense and industrial applications.
