Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a commutation cell and to a compensation circuit for limiting overvoltage across the power electronic switch of the commutation cell and for limiting a recovery current in a freewheel diode of the commutation cell. The power electronic switch has a parasitic emitter inductance. A variable gain compensation circuit generates a feedback from a voltage generated across the parasitic inductance of the emitter of the power switch at turn-on or turn-off of the power electronic switch. The compensation circuit provides the feedback to a control of the power electronic switch to reduce the voltage generated on the parasitic emitter inductance. A power converter including the commutation cell with the compensation circuit is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of power electronics. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a commutation cell configured to limit switch overvoltage when turning a power electronic switch on and off and to control the commutation cell's continuity when the power electronic switch is turned on. recovery current in the flow diode. The present disclosure also relates to a compensation circuit used in a rectification unit and a power converter including the rectification unit with the compensation circuit. Background technique [0002] Rectifier units are commonly used in electronic systems that require the conversion of voltage sources, including DC-DC converters and DC-AC converters, commonly referred to as converters. Due to the limited space left for power conversion circuits, such as those used in e.g. electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle applications, and in view of the high cost of semiconductors, there is an increasing n...
