| Abstract |
This paper presents experimental analysis of the voltage sharing in series connected IGCTs (IntegratedGate Commutated Thyristors) and their associated freewheeling diodes. Voltage sharing is evaluatedin function of three interesting parameters: junction temperatures, gate units delay and switch offcurrents during switch off transients. Voltage unbalance can be improved by keeping time delaydifference Δtdoff (IGCTs) and reverse recovery charge difference ΔQrr (diodes) as small as possible(Banding). |
