| Abstract |
This paper presents a generalized diode-clamped converter for high voltage
applications. The concept and the working principle are presented. This converter is not used in the
multilevel mode; thanks to an association of a low power diode array and a particular switching
sequence, it allows for a dynamic equalization of the transistor voltages. A prototype (1000V/20A)
has been developed in order to study the dynamic behavior during the transistor switching.
Experimental results highlight several over-voltage problems during the Switching-ON of the
transistors. These problems are analyzed and solutions are proposed. Finally the good behavior of this
kind of converter is proved. |
