In this study, a review on high-frequency modelling in electric machines is conducted. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) creates common-mode-voltage (CMV) and common-mode-current (CMC) in electric drives with high-frequency impacts such as shaft voltage and bearing current which in turn cause bearing failures. To predict and reduce these failures in an electric machine, transitional modelling of high-frequency pulses is necessary. At the first step, several methods for high-frequency modelling in an electric drive are categorised. At the second step, several types of bearing currents discussed and CMV and CMC in electric drives are introduced. At the third step, CMV, CMC and bearing currents are simulated for six types of PWM methods and experimental verification is reported. Finally, root-mean-square value of a distorted parasitic current is introduced for comparing the electromagnetic effects of PWM methods.
