Abstract |
A medium voltage rectifier, relying on series connection of SiC Schottky diodes, is designed and testedwithin a unidirectional isolated DC-DC converter. The design is realized considering efficiency, staticand dynamic balancing and failure mode considerations. The model of the rectifier circuit is improvedcompared to the previous literature enabling to precisely represent the voltage oscillations due toswitching, facilitating the design of the snubbers. Experimental results are presented to validate thedesign. The developed model results show good fit with the measurements. |
