Abstract
Method for reducing the common-mode current in power electronic equipment comprising two or more active front-end (AFE) components (1) connected in parallel between an AC power supply network (2) and a DC link, the method being characterized by the following steps: - Determining a duty cycle of the pulse width modulation (PWM) for the AFE components (1), - Deriving a fault signal based on the determined duty cycle of PWM and a common-mode current of the AFE components (1), - Deriving a correction voltage based on the fault signal, - Deriving a DC control signal based on the derived correction voltage and a measured DC voltage of the DC link (3) and / or a DC reference, and - Controlling the power electronic equipment according to the derived DC control signal.
