摘要
The migration to line side power conversion topologies comprising a medium frequency transformer in AC-fed propulsion systems may reduce size and weight of the conversion system. The switching frequency is a crucial factor affecting the viability of such a conversion system. An increased switching frequency of a mutually commutated conversion system comprising a medium frequency transformer employing soft switching is verified by single pulse measurements. A test bench to characterize standard IGBT modules under soft switching has been build and loss measurements on a 3.3 kV IGBT module are presented for hard and soft switching. A loss model of the investigated topology is developed and the maximum switching frequency for a converter equipped with the investigated module is estimated for hard and soft switching.
