This paper deals with a three-level inverter topology in the 3kW range as an alternative to commonly used three-level topologies. The topology is attractive for having low switching losses due to the utilization of CoolMos switching devices while keeping conduction losses low due to the utilization of IGBTs. A proper time delay between the CoolMos and IGBT devices increases the efficiency by 0.2 %...
This paper deals with the switching behavior of a SiC MOSFET in a TO-247 package. Based on simulations, critical parasitic inductances in the circuit layout are analyzed and their effect on the switching losses highlighted. Especially the common source inductance, a critical parameter in a TO-247 package, has a major influence on the switching energy. Crucial design guidelines for an improved double...
This paper deals with a 3kW multilevel inverter used for PV applications. A comparison has been made based on simulations using IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs to see how much efficiency can be gained when SiC diodes are used. A prototype with the same IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs has been built but using regular soft-recovery Si diodes instead of SiC diodes. Efficiencies and switching transitions for different switching...
