  • Line termination network assembly for an electric motor
    Patent number: 6304013
    Abstract: An electric motor to be used with a termination network that is integral with the motor and connected to the motor's supply motor lines for reducing voltage between a motor terminal and a transmission line connected to a pulse width modulated drive when high frequency surges, or spikes, are present. Further, the termination network will not adversely effect sinusoidal performance ratings of the motor on which it is used. In addition, since the termination network is integral with the motor, the termination network assembly can be installed during assembly of the motor, thus lowering the cost of installation.
