When driving the motor, the H-bridge alternates between drawing current to the different coils of the BLDC motor. This causes the current to fluctuate, thus causing a current ripple.

When driving the motor, the H-bridge alternates between drawing current from the power source and DC link capacitor, and cycling the current through the motor. This causes a current ripple.

Structure of a capacitor

A capacitor is a device that can store electrical energy. Taken simply, a capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric. The main structure is shown here:
