   A NEW SNUBBER FOR GTO-APPLICATIONS WITH ENERGY RECOVERY BY AN ACTIVE / PASSIVE CIRCUIT   [View]

 Author(s)   Hans Schamböck; Karl Schiftner 
 Abstract   A new snubber network configuration for chopper, 2 or 3 level PWM inverter application with GTO thyristors or power transistors permits snubber energy recovery. Two kinds of snubber energy recovery are possible:
* Active recovery towards an auxiliary voltage source. Total energy recovery is possible. The principle of the circuit is easy, but the necessary equipment of the voltage source is very high.
* Passive recovery by an energy-recovery transformer (replacing the DC/DC converter). A substantial part of snubber energy can be recovered. The remaining energy is dissipated within a resistor.
For practical purposes, use of passive recovery is reliable and reasonable.
