This phenomenon also occurs in transmission lines when a circuit breaker turns ON. when a wave travels through a long line, at the end it reflects back, so the voltage at the end of the line would be almost two times of wave magnitude. This penetrate to motor windings and damages motor winding's insolator. To solve this problem dv/dt filter is usually used at the inverter output, or by multilevel inverter we can reduce amplitude of the switched waveform.
I'd like to know if the magnitude of the phenomenon depends on carrier wave frequency? I couldn't manage to figure it out using traveling wave relations.
