Abstract

In modern power systems, interharmonics have emerged as noninteger frequency components that appear in current or voltage signals. Double-stage AC-DC-AC converters have been identified as a primary source of interharmonics. Previous studies have highlighted modulation techniques, filters, passive components, unbalanced conditions and DC link effects as relevant factors. However, the interaction between these factors and the inertial properties of induction motors has not been explored. This study assesses various types of AC drives, including variable frequency drives (VFDs) and soft starters (AC choppers), to investigate their interaction with machine inertial properties in interharmonic generation. The employed technique for time-frequency spectral analysis is the wavelet synchrosqueezed transform combined with a clustering method. This paper demonstrates that the interaction of the inertial properties of low-power induction motors with the variations of the switching frequencies of the VFDs, the filters used in the DC link and a soft start indirectly contribute to harmonic generation and potentially to interharmonics in the electrical grid and the outputs of the inverter.
