← TechnologyWhich 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.
