In a high-power three-level inverter, a middle line is connected between an ac neutral point and a dc neutral point to construct a common-mode (CM) loop, which could reduce low-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, the stray inductance of the middle line may lead to CM voltage resonance, causing a new EMI problem. To address this challenge, this letter proposes an EMI model of the three-level inverter, which fully considers the neutral point to ground voltage fluctuation and the influence of the middle line stray inductance on resonance. Then, based on the EMI model, sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the primary CM resonance parameters, and the CM resonance mechanism is analyzed. According to the proposed EMI model, a new suppression method is developed. A capacitor is connected between the dc neutral point and the ground to eliminate the resonance, which could significantly reduce the size and cost of EMI filters. Both the accuracy of the EMI model and the effectiveness of the suppression method are validated through simulation and measurement.

This article presents an extension of an analytical model designed to predict electromagnetic (EM) near-field coupling in automotive electronic systems. It incorporates a printed circuit board (PCB) into the modeling framework to better reflect real-world configurations and accurately account for EM interactions and signal integrity. The noise source is modeled as a single-turn metallic loop above a PCB ground plane, while the victim is represented by a wire positioned near the noise source. The proposed analytical method takes into account transmission line equations and the Biot–Savart law to calculate mutual inductance while optimizing computational efficiency. A detailed evaluation of the required number of wire sections and image loops ensures accurate modeling of magnetic field interactions. The analytical model was validated through full-wave simulations in Ansys HFSS and a measurement campaign. Results demonstrated good agreement between analytical predictions, simulations, and measurements across a frequency range of 1 MHz to 1 GHz, with deviations limited to acceptable margins. A key advantage of this approach is its computational efficiency, achieving results in seconds compared to hours required by full-wave simulations for the same number of frequencies. This optimization is particularly valuable in industrial contexts, where rapid design iteration is essential. By bridging the gap between analytical simplicity and real-world complexity, this study demonstrates the potential of the developed analytical model as a robust and time-efficient alternative for EM compatibility analysis.

This article comments on a recent IEEE Trans. EMC paper titled “New methodology for representing soil ionization in FDTD simulations of grounding electrodes,” where the Liew–Darveniza algorithm (1974) is used. We show that the assumption of cylinder-hemisphere equipotential patterns is not physically sound and propose an alternative that uses confocal hemi-ellipsoidal equipotential patterns.
