Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the electric power industry technical field relates to a one word type three level module circuit of RC absorption circuit's built -in CE of inner tube. BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years along with the development of power electronics technology in the electric power industry, one word type three level topology (NPC1) has been widely applied in multiple industries, and its main industries include photovoltaic inverter, wind power converter and the like, which have wide applications. These application fields can benefit from the advantages of three level topology structure, such as lower harmonic content, higher efficiency, reduced electromagnetic interference, and lower voltage borne by a single device.
[0003] The typical topology of one word type three level, the whole inverter circuit is composed of 4 IGBTs and 6 diodes. The three level circuit is relatively complex in topology structure, and can output high, low and zero level through the turn-on of upper and lower tubes. In one word type three level topology application, there are short commutation loop and long commutation loop, as shown in Figure 1 As can be seen from Figure 1 , when T1 is turned off, the current flows through D5 to continue flowing, and the current path is changed from LOOP1 to LOOP2. At this time, the commutation loop is short, the stray inductance is small, and the turn-off voltage stress of T1 is small.
[0004] Comparative analysis of long commutation loop, as shown in Figure 2 As can be seen from Figure 2 , when T2 is turned off, the current flows through D3 and D4 to continue flowing, and the current path is changed from LOOP3 to LOOP4. Since the commutation loop is long, the loop stray inductance increases, resulting in a large turn-off peak voltage of T2, which causes the problem of internal tube overvoltage. Since the one word type three level topology is symmetrical, the same analysis can conclude that the internal tube T3 will also have the problem of large turn-off peak voltage caused by the long commutation loop.
[0005] In practical application, the problem of large turn-off stress of internal tubes T2 and T3 is more prominent. The IGBT voltage stress problem of such modules can be solved by optimizing the external wiring of IGBT module and adjusting the IGBT drive resistance. Based on the adjustment of drive resistance, the loss increases and the system efficiency decreases.
[0006] In order to reduce the large turn-off stress of internal tube, RC absorption circuit can also be added between the two ends of IGBT CE to improve it. Since not every system can support this scheme in the actual use of IGBT module, the application of this scheme is relatively limited.
[0007] Therefore, a one word type three level module circuit with RC absorption circuit built-in CE of inner tube is designed to overcome the above problems. Utility Model Content
