Power inverters produce common mode voltage (CMV) and common mode current (CMC) which cause high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, leakage currents in electrical drives application and grid-connected systems, which consequently drops the efficiency of the system considerably.
EMI mitigation techniques are investigated with the aim to reduce the CM voltage and current in PV grid-tied power inverters. The common mode undesirable effects for grid-tied inverter systems has been discussed and compared for different PWM schemes.
To minimize common currents, commonly used methods are [ 1] improved power inverter structures with common mode current (CMC) suppression capabilities and advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes [ 7 ], and (2) the addition of EMI filters [ 8] and bridge inverter topology based on DC and AC bypass [ 9 ].

1. Introduction PV inverters use semiconductor devices to transform the DC power into controlled AC power by using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switching. PWM switching is the most efficient way to generate AC power, allowing for flexible control of the output magnitude and frequency.
Noise in signal circuits is solely controlled by ferrite beads and proper grounding. The PVI 82kW inverter also features series and shunt filters in the final output stage of the system. These filters are frequency band limiting and designed to filter out switching frequency transients.
