[0037] The utility model provides a voltage balancing circuit based on a three-level topology. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a structural block diagram of a voltage balancing circuit based on a three-level topology according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the voltage balancing circuit includes a filter circuit 100, a clamp circuit 200, an inverter circuit 300, a first voltage balancing module 400 and a second voltage balancing module 500;

[0039] The first end of the inverter circuit 300 is connected to the positive electrode of the bus; the second end of the inverter circuit 300 is connected to the negative electrode of the bus;

[0040] The first end of the clamping circuit 200 is connected to a first clamping point between the first inner tube module 320 and the first outer tube module 310 in the inverter circuit 300; the second end of the clamping circuit 200 is connected to a second clamping point between the second inner tube module 330 and the second outer tube module 340 in the inverter circuit 300;

[0041] A first pressure equalizing module 400 is connected in parallel with the first inner tube module 320;

[0042] The second pressure equalizing module 500 is connected in parallel with the second inner tube module 330 .

[0043] Specifically, the voltage balancing circuit of this embodiment includes a filter circuit 100, a clamp circuit 200, an inverter circuit 300 and two voltage balancing modules. The first output terminal and the input terminal of the filter circuit 100 are respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of the bus, and the second output terminal is connected to the clamp circuit 200, that is, the midpoint of the bus is connected to the clamp circuit 200.

The input end of the first outer tube module 310 is connected to the positive pole of the bus, and the output end of the second outer tube module 340 is connected to the negative pole of the bus. The first outer tube module 310, the first inner tube module 320, the second inner tube module 330 and the second outer tube module 340 are connected in series in sequence.

[0045] In the inverter circuit 300, the series connection point between the first inner tube module 320 and the first outer tube module 310 is the first clamping point, the series connection point between the second inner tube module 330 and the second outer tube module 340 is the second clamping point, and the two ends of the clamping circuit 200 are connected to the first clamping point and the second clamping point respectively.

[0046] In addition, the first pressure equalizing module 400 of this embodiment is connected in parallel with the first inner tube module 320, and the second pressure equalizing module 500 is connected in parallel with the second inner tube module 330. It should be noted that, since the pressure equalization of the inner and outer tubes in series is affected by their blocking characteristics under static operation, by connecting the pressure equalizing modules in parallel at both ends of the inner tube module, the blocking balance rate when the inner and outer tubes are turned off can be guaranteed, thereby achieving pressure equalization when the inner and outer tubes are connected in series in static state.

[0047] The current 3L-NPC three-level topology uses IGBTs in series, so that the voltage borne by each IGBT is half of the bus voltage, thereby reducing the withstand voltage of the IGBT. At the same time, the topology has lower losses under high switching frequency conditions. However, due to the unidirectional conductivity of the clamping diode in the three-level topology, the clamping outer tube voltage does not exceed half of the bus, and there is a risk that the inner tube voltage will exceed half of the bus. It is impossible to ensure that the inner and outer tubes are connected in series in a static state. The uneven voltage phenomenon can easily cause device damage and reduce system reliability.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present application sets up a voltage equalizing circuit including a filter circuit 100, a clamping circuit 200, an inverter circuit 300, a first voltage equalizing module 400 and a second voltage equalizing module 500, and connects the first voltage equalizing module 400 in parallel with the first inner tube module 320, and connects the second voltage equalizing module 500 in parallel with the second inner tube module 330, so that the resistance-off characteristics of the inner and outer tubes can be utilized to ensure the resistance-off balance rate when the inner and outer tubes are turned off, so that the voltage balance rate of the inner and outer tubes plays a role of static voltage equalization, which solves the problem of being unable to ensure voltage equalization when the inner and outer tubes are connected in series statically, and ensures voltage equalization when the inner and outer tubes are connected in series statically, reduces switching losses, avoids the risk of parasitic oscillations, and has a simple circuit structure, effectively reducing device costs.

[0049] In some of the embodiments, the first voltage balancing module 400 includes at least one voltage balancing resistor R1;

[0050] The resistance of the voltage balancing resistor R1 is smaller than the product of the preset ratio and the off resistance corresponding to the first outer tube module 310 ; wherein the preset ratio corresponds to the voltage balancing rate of the first outer tube module 310 .

[0051] Specifically, the first voltage balancing module 400 includes at least one voltage balancing resistor R1, which is connected in parallel with the first inner tube module 320, and different numbers of voltage balancing resistors are selected according to actual application requirements.

[0052] It should be noted that, under static operation, the main factor affecting the voltage balance of the inner and outer tubes in series is their blocking characteristics. If the inner and outer tubes have high off-resistance or small leakage current when turned off, they will withstand higher voltage. off =U CES / I CES , U CES Indicates the maximum forward voltage that can be sustained under shutdown conditions, I CES Indicates leakage current. When the leakage current I CES Different, the off resistance value R off It is also different.

[0053] Based on this, the static voltage equalization process of this embodiment is described. For the outer tube T1 and the inner tube T2, assuming that the leakage current I of T1 CES1 Greater than the leakage current I of T2 CES2 , and the voltage balance rate is a, then R off1 <R off2 , and the equivalent resistance of T2 when it is turned off is R T2 =R off2 *R1 / (R off2 +R1); Since the off-resistance of the inner and outer tubes is high or the leakage current is small when turned off, they will withstand a higher voltage. Therefore, the voltage that T2 withstands is higher than the voltage that T1 withstands. At this time, R T2 <(1+a)*R off1 , and R T2 =R off2 *R1 / (R off2 +R1) Substitute into R T2 <(1+a)*R off1 , simplify to get R1(1-1.2R off1 / R off2 )<1.2 Roff1 ; Further, in the most extreme state, when I CES1 When it reaches the maximum value, I CES2 is 0, then R off2 Approaching infinity, the above formula can be simplified to R1<1.2R off1, which means that when the resistance value of the voltage-equalizing resistor R1 is set to be smaller than the product of the preset ratio and the off-resistance value corresponding to the first outer tube module 310, by connecting the voltage-equalizing resistor R1 in parallel at both ends of the first inner tube module 320, the off-resistance balance rate when the inner and outer tubes are turned off can be guaranteed, thereby achieving voltage balancing when the inner and outer tubes are connected in series in a static state, wherein the preset ratio corresponds to the voltage balance rate of the first outer tube module 310.

[0054] Through this embodiment, the first voltage equalizing module 400 is set to include at least one voltage equalizing resistor R1, and the resistance value of the voltage equalizing resistor R1 is smaller than the product of a preset ratio and the off-resistance value corresponding to the first outer tube module 310, wherein the preset ratio corresponds to the voltage equalization rate of the first outer tube module 310, thereby utilizing the off-resistance characteristics of the inner and outer tubes to ensure the off-resistance equalization rate when the inner and outer tubes are turned off, thereby achieving voltage equalization when the inner and outer tubes are connected in series in a static state.

[0055] In some of the embodiments, the second voltage balancing module 500 includes at least one voltage balancing resistor R2;

[0056] The resistance of the voltage balancing resistor R2 is smaller than the product of the preset ratio and the off resistance value corresponding to the second outer tube module 340 ; wherein the preset ratio corresponds to the voltage balancing rate of the second outer tube module 340 .

[0057] Specifically, the second voltage balancing module 500 includes at least one voltage balancing resistor R2, which is connected in parallel with the second inner tube module 330, and different numbers of voltage balancing resistors are selected according to actual application requirements.

[0058] It should be noted that, under static operation, the main factor affecting the voltage balance of the inner and outer tubes in series is their blocking characteristics. If the inner and outer tubes have high off-resistance or small leakage current when turned off, they will withstand higher voltage. off =U CES / I CES , U CES Indicates the maximum forward voltage that can be sustained under shutdown conditions, I CES Indicates leakage current. When the leakage current I CES Different, the off resistance value R off Based on this, the static pressure equalization process of the second outer tube module 340 and the second inner tube module 330 in this embodiment is similar to the static pressure equalization process of the first outer tube module 310 and the first inner tube module 320. When the resistance value of the voltage equalization resistor R2 is set to be less than the product of the preset ratio and the off resistance value corresponding to the second outer tube module 340, the off resistance balance rate when the inner and outer tubes are turned off can be guaranteed by connecting the voltage equalization resistor R2 in parallel at both ends of the second inner tube module 330, thereby achieving static pressure equalization when the inner and outer tubes are connected in series, wherein the preset ratio corresponds to the voltage balance rate of the second outer tube module 340.

[0059] Through this embodiment, the second voltage equalizing module 500 is set to include at least one voltage equalizing resistor R2, and the resistance value of the voltage equalizing resistor R2 is smaller than the product of a preset ratio and the off-resistance value corresponding to the second outer tube module 340, wherein the preset ratio corresponds to the voltage equalization rate of the second outer tube module 340, thereby utilizing the off-resistance characteristics of the inner and outer tubes to ensure the off-resistance equalization rate when the inner and outer tubes are turned off, thereby achieving voltage equalization when the inner and outer tubes are connected in series in a static state.
