Abstract: With the increasing switching frequencies and power densities in modern power converters, the prediction and mitigation of common-mode (CM) noise are becoming increasingly essential. Even though powerful, simulation methods are hindered by the difficulties in modeling power semiconductors and the long simulation time. As an alternative, the measurement-based substitution model is demonstrated in the paper, which simplifies the non-linear converter with a linear circuit network with multiple independent sources. Transfer functions are then defined and characterized to evaluate the conversion ratio from different sources to the CM noise produced on the attached cables. Good agreements are observed between the predicted and measured CM noise under several test conditions. Additionally, the proposed method facilitates dominant noise source identification and the corresponding noise suppression. The proposed method offers advantages over the existing approach, including simplicity in the characterization of transfer functions and the least disturbance to the test setup.
