1 MVA-ARCPI with High Voltage IGBT Modules – Design and Practical Experience

Abstract

Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) as applied in the Auxiliary Resonant Commutated Pole Inverter (ARCPI) can reduce drastically the relatively high switching losses of High Voltage IGBT-Modules. Thus the switching frequency can be much higher than in conventional hard switched converters. This paper describes the construction of a scaleable ARCPI-structure. The structure was tested successfully at first in an 80 kVA inverter test-setup, while this paper presents first measurements and experiences with an 1 MVA test-setup with 3.3 kV-IGBTs. Switching frequencies up to 5 kHz were achieved with a rated load current of 800 ARMS.
