An arrangement according to claim 8 characterized in that the arrangement is configured to record the common mode current values while scanning through the permissible switching frequency range before starting the electronics device.
In order to reduce conducted highfrequency disturbances RFI radio frequency interference filters to be coupled to feeders are commonly used.These filters typically comprise a coupling of capacitive and inductive components.The RFI filter inductance may comprise both phasespecific andcommon mode choke but to save on costs common mode chokes alone are often used in these filters.A problem arises when the RFI filter employs common mode chokes alone which get saturated.Saturation may result from high capacitance of motor cables of the frequency converter with respect to earth whereby the capacitances generate a high common mode current during transitions.The switching frequency of the frequency converter also has an effect on the magnitude of the common mode current passing through earth capacitances.The common mode current tends to return to the source of disturbance i.e.to the highpower semiconductors of the frequency converter either through antiinterference capacitors earthed via a DC intermediate circuit of the frequency converter or through the earth capacitances of the supply network.If the switching frequency of the frequency converter is at the resonance frequency of an LC circuit formed together by the supply network earth capacitance and the supply networks inductance and the RFI filters common mode inductance the common mode currents tend to return to the source of disturbance via said route and not via the desired route i.e.via the antiinterference capacitors.

As described above according to the shaft coupling mechanism 1 the intermediate interposed member 8 disposed between the rotation transmitting members 6 and 7 has the projecting portions 73 each of which is disposed between the respective ones of the projecting portions 33 and 53 of the rotation transmitting members 6 and 7 in the A direction and has the larger width D2 in the R direction than the width D1 of each of the projecting portions 33 and 53.Each projecting portion 73 of the intermediate interposed member 8 has a smaller rigidity than the rigidity of each of the projecting portions 33 and 53 of the rotation transmitting members 6 and 7.As a result the transmission of the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 in the R direction to the steering shaft 4 is effected through the elastic deformation of the projecting portions 73 of the intermediate interposed member 8.Therefore the transmission of very small rotationof the rotating shaft 2 in the R direction to the steering shaft 4 can be reduced or prevented by the elastic deformation of the projecting portions 73 of the intermediate interposed member 8 while the transmission to the steering shaft 4 of large relative rotation of the rotating shaft 2 in the R direction with respect to the steering shaft 4 can be effected as it is through the rotation transmitting members 6 and 7 having a greater rigidity than the projecting portions 73 of the intermediate interposed member 8.Moreover in the relative rotation of the rotating shaft 2 in the R direction by more than a fixed degree with respect to the steering shaft 4 the large elastic deformation of the projecting portions 73 of the intermediate interposed member 8 can be prevented by the rotation transmitting members 6 and 7 having a greater rigidity so that even if a flexible resin material having a small rigidity is used for the intermediate interposed member 8 the permanent deformation of the intermediate interposed member 8 due to creep can be reduced.Moreover since the pair of rotation transmitting members 6 and 7 are coupled to each other through the coupling means 9 the assembling efficiency can be improved and the mutual separation in the A direction between the pair of rotation transmitting members 6 and 7 due to the elastic deformation of the intermediate interposed member 8 can be eliminated thereby making it possible to suppress the expansion of the pair of rotation transmitting members 6 and 7 in the A direction to a fixed degree.Thus it is possible to reduce the transmission to the steering wheel of the impact at the time of the reversing of the electric motor and the brush vibration.Furthermore it is possible to eliminate backlash in the R direction between the rotating shaft 2 and the steering shaft 4.Hence the steering feel can be prevented from becoming uncomfortable and the shaft coupling mechanism can be made to excel in durability and can be provided with stable characteristics.
