Impacts of Diode Surge Currents on Reverse Conducting IGBT Controlled by Optimized Gate-Drive Unit | ||||||
Author(s) | Daniel LEXOW | |||||
Abstract | Diode surge currents constitute a challenging demand in any inverter structure. Especially, while using an improved gate-drive control for RC-IGBTs with an implemented blanking time to delay the transition from IGBT- to diode-mode. Therefore, HV-measurements with 6.5 kV RC-IGBTs were ac-complished to ensure safe operation of this particular gate-drive concept. Furthermore, a compensa-tion technique to avoid excessive forward recovery voltage drop is introduced. | |||||
