IGBT Converter (3ph)

Purpose

3-phase IGBT converter

Library

Electrical / Converters

Description

pict

Implements a three-phase two-level IGBT converter with reverse diodes. The gate input is a vector of three signals - one per leg. The upper IGBT, connected to the positive dc level, is on if the corresponding gate signal is positive. The lower IGBT is on if the gate signal is negative. If the gate signal is zero both IGBTs in the leg are switched off.

You can choose between two different converter models:

The electrical circuit for the converter is shown below:

Parameters

For a description of the parameters see the documentation of the IGBT with Diode, the IGBT and the Diode.

Probe Signals

The two-level IGBT converters provide six or twelve probe signals, each a vector containing the appropriate quantities of the individual devices: voltage, current, conductivity, conduction loss and switching loss. The vector elements are ordered top-to-bottom, left-to-right: a+, a-, b+, b-, c+, c-.
