All-Sic Three-Phase Converters For High Efficiency Applications, Fan Xu
Doctoral Dissertations
The dissertation aims to improve the efficiency of three-phase converters using SiC power devices.The methodology to design a high efficiency all-SiC three-phase converter is presented. Four aspects are included: SiC power device evaluation, power loop parasitics analysis, high efficiency current source rectifier, and paralleled current source rectifier system.
The SiC JFET and MOSFET are tested based on voltage source and current source structures respectively. The dissertation proposes a device switching test circuit based on current source topology to simulate current commutation processes. The circuit can evaluate the switching performance and calculate switching loss of a power device used in a …
