Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of capacitor design technology, specifically relating to a high-voltage DC supported capacitor electrode structure. Background Technology
[0002] DC support capacitors are key components of converters, primarily serving functions such as voltage stabilization and filtering. Currently, dry-type DC support capacitors are widely used in new energy, rail transportation, and smart grid sectors. These capacitors are characterized by their dry-type structure, high voltage rating, and large capacitance.
[0003] The rated voltage of the DC support capacitor depends on the IGBT device voltage of the converter power module. Currently, the main IGBT device voltage levels are 3300V and 4500V. In recent years, domestic and foreign research institutions and device manufacturers have conducted extensive research on high-voltage, high-power IGBT technology. Some manufacturers' IGBT devices have reached the 6000V / 2000A level. In addition, commercially available IGCT devices and IGBTs produced by domestic and foreign device manufacturers have reached the 6500V / 3000A level. The rated voltage of the DC support capacitor for power modules with device voltage levels of 6000V and 6500V is 3.8~4.0kV.
[0004] Currently, there are two types of internal electrode structures for large-capacity high-voltage DC-DC supported capacitors: external series connection and internal series connection. DC-DC supported capacitors with a voltage rating of 4.0kV mainly adopt a two-internal-series structure, with an operating electric field strength typically designed to be 233~240V / μm. For DC-DC supported capacitors with voltage ratings above 4.0kV, external series connection is used. Due to limitations in film thickness, the electrode structure of 4kV DC-DC supported capacitors can use a two-internal-series structure with thicknesses of 8μm and 9μm, with operating electric field strengths of 250V / μm and 222.2V / μm, respectively. Using external series connection for high-voltage DC-DC supported capacitors above 4kV requires additional soldering points, increasing capacitor losses and inductance, thus reducing reliability.
[0005] For high-voltage DC support capacitors with voltage levels of 4.0kV and above: due to the influence of film thickness, the operating field strength of DC support capacitors with metallized film of corresponding thickness varies greatly; if the operating field strength is high, the size is smaller, but the long-term reliability is lower, and vice versa. Using external series connection requires additional soldering points, which increases the capacitor loss and inductance, increases manufacturing cost, and also reduces reliability.
[0006] In summary, the electrode structure of high-voltage DC-supported capacitors needs to focus on: multiple internal series structures; high sheet resistance; thin film thickness; and operating field strength. Solving these key technologies is the crucial point to overcome in the research and development of this type of electrode structure. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing DC-supported capacitor electrode structure technology, this utility model proposes a high-voltage DC-supported capacitor electrode structure.
