Abstract
A motor drive system comprises a power converter arranged to supply an input voltage to a motor connected to the power converter by a cable arrangement. The cable arrangement includes first, second, and third conductors, each of said conductors being electrically coupled at one end to the power converter, and to the motor at the other end. A resistive portion is connected to a respective node of each of said first, second, and third conductors. A capacitive portion is connected to the resistive portion in series. A switching portion is connected in parallel to the capacitive portion and is operable in open and closed states. In the closed state, the capacitive portion is bypassed, providing for dissipation of regenerative energy from the motor. In the open state, the capacitive portion is not bypassed, and acts with the resistive portion to provide RC damper functionality to mitigate transmission line effects from the conductors.
