Adjustable speed drives use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to switch DC-bus voltage for the synthesis of three-phase voltages to provide power to the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). This switching action produces very short rise and fall times and Common Mode Voltage (CMV) in the motor winding, exciting the parasitic capacitances inherent to the motor geometry. These parasitic capacitances give rise to shaft voltage due to a voltage divider action. Therefore, in this paper, first, motor parasitic capacitances and voltage divider action is explained. Second, the Barium Titanate (BTO) layer is coated onto the rotor to enhance stator-to-rotor compound capacitance and a simulation is performed showing the dependence of the shaft voltage on the permittivity of the perovskite (BTO) layer. The rotor BTO layer reduces the bearing voltage ratio as well. Third, experimental results are presented showing effectiveness of the application of the BTO layer to rotor and reduction of shaft voltage of the motor in anticipation to mitigate the damaging electric discharge machining (EDM) bearing currents. Likewise, the experiment shows that the magnetic design of the motor is not affected by the BTO layer to rotor.
