Problems solved by technology

[0006] In the prior art, the widely used IGBT drive circuit is an independent integrated drive chip that can be obtained through commercial means, such as CONCEPT Company; this integrated drive chip not only has limited drive capability, but also it is difficult to flexibly adjust the parameters in the circuit. Therefore, this independent integrated drive chip cannot meet the needs of electric locomotives to flexibly adjust the drive capability and line protection capabilities of IGBT drive circuits in different application scenarios; on the other hand, due to the harsh electromagnetic environment on electric locomotives, independent integration Drive chips are prone to failure due to electromagnetic interference. Therefore, in the prior art, independent integrated drive chips often cannot guarantee the safe and reliable operation of IGBT converters in the complex environment of electric locomotives. Specially designed drive circuits are basically used.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a converter for electric locomotives, in particular to an active clamp circuit driven by IGBT of the converter for electric locomotives. Background technique [0002] IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, insulated gate bipolar transistor) combines the advantages of a power field effect transistor (MOSFET) and a bipolar power transistor (BJT), which has high input impedance, fast switching speed, and good thermal stability It also has the advantages of low on-state voltage, high withstand voltage and large withstand current. Therefore, it is more and more widely used in modern power electronic technology. [0003] One of the key technologies for IGBT application is overvoltage suppression. Overvoltage suppression is not only directly related to the operating characteristics and operational safety of the IGBT itself, but also affects the performance and safety of the entire system. When the IGBT is normally turned off, a certain v...
