Technology

Which consequence results when excessively rapid switching occurs in induction motor drives?

A)Bearing currents exacerbate shaft wear
B)Reduced electromagnetic interference emissions
C)Increased converter insulation integrity
D)Flux weakening enhances motor torque

💡 Explanation

Bearing currents lead to electrical discharge machining (EDM) because parasitic capacitances allow high-frequency currents to flow through the bearings, which then damages the bearing surfaces; therefore, shaft wear increases, rather than EMI decreasing, at high switching frequencies.
