[ 2 ] Types of noise
Noise generated in an inverter is propagated through the main circuit wiring to the power supply and the motor so
as to affect a wide range of applications from the power supply transformer to the motor. The various propagation
routes are shown in Figure A-2. According to those routes, noises are roughly classified into three
types--conducted noise, induction noise, and radiated noise.
Figure A-2 Noise Propagation Routes
(1) Conducted noise
The noise that has occurred in the inverter and propagates through a conductor to influence peripheral equipment
is called conducted noise. Some conducted noise will propagate through the main circuit (1). If the ground wires
are connected to a common ground, conducted noise will propagate through route (2). As shown in route (3), some
conducted noise will propagate through signal lines or shielded wires.
