Why do motor drives have multiple bus capacitors of small value capacitance instead of a single bus capacitor of large value?
All professional DC, BLDC or PMSM motor controllers that I have seen (Sevcon, etc.) have large numbers of DC bus capacitors connected in parallel. Their capacitances range around 100 µF - 220&...
