Abstract
An alternating current (AC) motor system includes an AC motor with a rotor and a stator with multi-phase AC stator windings. The system also includes a power inverter that generates a multi-phase AC voltage, an AC bus that connects the power inverter to the stator windings, an AC choke that surrounds the AC bus, and a current sensor with a coil wound on or surrounded by the AC choke. The current sensor measures common mode current in the AC bus, and is used in pulse width modulation or slew rate control of the power inverter, ensuring smooth operation and reducing the risk of damage due to common mode current.
