Stray capacitance between the motor conductors, equipment ground, and other nearby conductors results in induced high
frequency currents.
High ground circuit impedance at high frequencies results in an instantaneous voltage at points reputed to be at ground
potential. This voltage can appear throughout a system as a common mode signal that can interfere with control signals.
These currents return to the DC bus via the ground circuit and a high frequency (HF) bypass network within the adjustable
frequency drive itself. However, imperfections in the adjustable frequency drive grounding or the equipment ground system
can cause some of the currents to travel out to the power network.
