Switching operations in power converters controlling electric machines in a hybrid drive train constitute a major source of electromagnetic related disturbances. The emissions from power converters seem to have a characteristic pattern or signature and can be picked up at different locations in the vehicle. This study aims at investigating the signature of emissions from power converters using an H-bridge driving a dc motor. PSpice model of the motor and drive circuit was made and current, voltage, and field measurements were performed on a constructed prototype. Current transients and oscillations generated during voltage transitions have been investigated using the PSpice model. A correlation between the common mode currents and the magnetic field emissions was observed.
