Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques to filter unwanted noise from feedback signals of an electrical machine. An electrical machine may receive AC power from an inverter and circuitry in the inverter may cause noise on the AC power signals to the electrical machine. The noise may couple to sensors for the electrical machine and cause noise in the sensor output signals. The sensor output signals may provide feedback for a closed loop control system for the electrical machine and noise may impact the closed loop operation. Also, the noise in the feedback signals may cause electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues, either by direct radiated emissions or by coupling to other circuits in the vehicle wiring harness as the feedback signals travel from the electrical machine. The techniques of this disclosure may include filter circuitry located near or inside the electrical machine that filters out the unwanted noise in the feedback signals.
