Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the transient current peak value of an IGBT device, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0050] Step 10: In response to determining that a type II short circuit occurs in the IGBT device, construct an IGBT short circuit transient equivalent circuit, wherein the IGBT short circuit transient equivalent circuit includes a first node, a second node, and a third node.

[0051] It should be noted that the short circuit of IGBT can be divided into Class I short circuit and Class II short circuit according to the short circuit type: a direct connection occurs within the bridge arm, which is called a Class I short circuit; the short circuit point occurs on the load side, and the equivalent short circuit impedance is larger, which is called a Class II short circuit.

[0052] In some optional embodiments of this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the step of determining that the IGBT device has a second type of short circuit includes:

[0053] Step S1, determining whether the IGBT device is turned on;

[0054] Step S2, in response to determining that the IGBT device is turned on, determining whether a first preset node and a second preset node of a half-bridge circuit are short-circuited;

[0055] Step S3: in response to determining that the first preset node and the second preset node are short-circuited, determining that a second type short circuit occurs in the IGBT device.

[0056] In this step, first determine whether the IGBT device is in the on state; secondly, based on determining that the IGBT device is on, determine whether a short circuit occurs between a first preset node and a second preset node set on the half-bridge circuit model; finally, based on determining the short circuit, determine that a Class II short circuit occurs in the IGBT device.

[0057] In this application, the IGBT device is arranged as follows Figure 3 In the half-bridge circuit model shown in FIG. 1 , the reference direction of the voltage and current in the half-bridge circuit model is already in Figure 3 When a short circuit occurs in half of the bridge arm of the commutation circuit (for example, a short circuit occurs between point A and point K) while the IGBT is already turned on, a type II short circuit will occur in the IGBT.

[0058] In addition, it should be noted that Figure 3 Middle,U DC is the DC bus voltage, u GE is the gate voltage, R G is the gate resistance, U G,on is the gate power supply voltage, u CE is the collector-emitter voltage (u CE,chipis the collector-emitter voltage of the IGBT chip, L s,CE is the parasitic inductance of the IGBT device package), i C is the collector current, u F is the FWD voltage (u F,chip is the chip collector emitter voltage, L s,F is the parasitic inductance of the FWD device package), i F is the FWD current, I L is the load inductor current, L s,1 is the parasitic inductance of the IGBT circuit, L s,2 is the parasitic inductance value of the FWD freewheeling circuit.

[0060] It should be noted that, before constructing the IGBT short-circuit transient equivalent circuit in response to determining that the IGBT device has a second-class short circuit, the method for determining the transient current peak value further includes:

[0061] The gate-collector voltage of the IGBT device when the second type of short circuit does not occur is determined according to the on-state saturation voltage drop of the IGBT device and the gate power supply voltage.

[0062] Specifically, U GC0 The gate collector voltage before the short circuit occurs is:

[0063] U GC0 =U CE,sat -U G,on (1)

[0064] Where U CE,sat It is the IGBT on-state saturation voltage drop, which is about 3V.

[0065] Further, in this embodiment, when it is determined that the IGBT device has a second type of short circuit, based on the following Figure 4 The circuit shown is constructed as Figure 5 The IGBT short-circuit transient equivalent circuit is shown.

[0066] Step 20: Perform complex frequency domain analysis on the IGBT short-circuit transient equivalent circuit to determine the node voltage equations of the first node, the second node and the third node, referring to Figure 5 , the first node, the second node and the third node are R G , C GE and CGC .

[0067] See also Figure 6 , which is a schematic diagram of the output characteristic curve of the second type short circuit transient process of the IGBT device. Figure 6 It can be seen that t SC is the moment when short circuit occurs at point A and point K. In this step, the IGBT short circuit transient equivalent circuit is analyzed in the complex frequency domain, and the node voltage equation is written as:

[0068]

[0069] Step 30: Determine the maximum value of the gate-emitter voltage based on the node voltage equation.

[0071] Step 301: Determine a gate-emitter complex frequency domain voltage equation based on the node voltage equation.

[0072] In this step, the node voltage equation (2) is solved to determine the gate-emitter complex frequency domain voltage equation as follows:

[0073]

[0074] Step 302: Perform an inverse Lagrange transform on the gate-emitter complex frequency domain voltage equation to determine the gate-emitter voltage equation.

[0075] In this step, the gate-emitter complex frequency domain voltage equation (3) is subjected to an inverse Lapland transformation, and the gate-emitter voltage equation can be determined as follows:

[0076]

[0077] Step 303: Determine the maximum value of the gate-emitter voltage based on the gate-emitter voltage equation.

[0078] In this step, at time t = 0, u GE Maximum value u GE(max) for:

[0079]

[0080] Step 40: Determine the transient current peak value of the IGBT device according to the control relationship between the gate-emitter voltage and the collector current and the maximum value of the gate-emitter voltage.

[0081] In this step, the control relationship between the gate voltage and the collector current is:

[0082]

[0083] Substituting equation (5) into equation (6), we can get the collector current peak value i C(max) for:

[0084]
