    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus provides a simple and low cost solution of reducing voltage stress on AC motors and cables in VFD fed motor systems without connecting apparatus to live circuits. Disclosed examples include apparatus to couple a motor drive to a motor, including a cable with a first end coupled with an output of a motor drive, a second end coupled with a motor, a plurality of conductors to convey an output signal of the motor drive between the first and second ends to drive the motor, and a plurality of shields, with a conductive junction to couple tap points of at least two of the shields together. Resistors can be used to connect the tap points to the conductive junction to provide an impedance in series with the corresponding shield to reduce voltage stress to the motor or the cable. In certain examples, the shields include a semiconductor material to provide an impedance between the first end and the conductive junction to reduce voltage stress to the motor or the cable.

    Abstract: Power conversion systems, discharge circuits and methods are disclosed for discharging a DC bus conditioner capacitor connected between a neutral node and a first reference node in a DC bus circuit of a power conversion system, in which a DC bus voltage of the power conversion system is monitored, and a discharge control DC power supply is activated in response to the DC bus voltage transitioning below a first threshold voltage to activate a switching circuit to connect a discharge resistor between the first reference node and a DC bus terminal of the DC bus circuit to at least partially discharge the conditioner capacitor through the discharge resistor.
