How capacitive isolation solves key challenges in AC motor drives

This whitepaper compares Texas Instruments’ (TI) capacitive-based isolation technology with traditional isolation technology when solving alternating current (AC) motor design challenges, including isolating gate drivers in the power stage, isolating voltage or current feedback, or isolating digital inputs in the control module.

An AC motor drive is a system that uses an AC input to an induction motor, to drive large industrial loads such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning for commercial buildings, pumps and compressors. 

AC motors also drive factory automation and industrial equipment loads that require provisions to adjust speed, such as conveyor belts, or tunnel boring, mining and paper mill equipment.
