Abstract: A power converter includes a first set of transistors electrically connected in series, a second set of transistors electrically connected in series, and an AC link. The second set of transistors is electrically connected in parallel with the first set of transistors to form an H-bridge. The AC link is electrically connected between the first and second sets of transistors.

Abstract: A thermal stress reduction method includes ramping an electric power generator to start an aircraft engine, for a time period associated with the aircraft engine start sequence toggling a three-level inverter switch array to a three-level pulse width modulation mode, determining if a first time interval in the three-level pulse width modulation mode exceeded a predetermined three-level pulse width modulation mode interval, in response to the first time interval exceeding the three-level pulse width modulation mode interval, toggling the three-level inverter switch array to a two-level pulse width modulation mode, determining if a second time interval in the two-level pulse width modulation mode exceeded a predetermined two-level pulse width modulation mode interval and in response to the second time interval exceeding the two-level pulse width modulation mode interval, toggling the three-level inverter switch array to the three-level pulse width modulation mode.

Abstract: A phase leg for a multilevel inverter includes a first direct current lead, an outer solid-state switch, an inner solid-state switch, and a midpoint-clamping device. The outer solid-state switch device is connected to the first direct current lead. The inner solid-state switch is connected in series with the outer solid-state switch. The midpoint-clamping device is a bi-directional current flow device connected between a second DC lead and a node between the inner and outer solid-state switches for reducing conduction losses associated with current flowing through the phase leg.

Abstract: A phase leg for a multilevel inverter includes a positive DC lead, a first outer MOSFET connected to the positive DC lead, a first inner IGBT connected to the first outer MOSFET, a second inner IGBT connected to the first inner IGBT, and a second outer IGBT connected to the second inner IGBT. The first and second outer MOSFETs are superjunction MOSFETs voltage balanced by the first and second IGBTs for reducing voltage stress in the solid-state switch phase leg when the superjunction MOSFET and the IGBT are conducting current from the DC lead to the AC lead.

Abstract: A method of controlling an inverter includes receiving a target waveform for output voltage of an inverter phase, calculating a phase bias for an inverter phase using the target waveform, biasing the target waveform using the phase bias, and generating a switching device command signal by comparing the biased target waveform to a carrier waveform. The switching device command signal has a switching patter that reduces midpoint current in an inverter input lead and common mode voltage in an inverter output lead.

Abstract: A transformer assembly includes a housing with a sealed housing interior, a transformer disposed within the housing interior and having a core with windings wrapped about the core, and a condenser mounted to the housing. The condenser is in fluid communication with the housing interior. A surface of the windings bounds a coolant channel extending between the windings and the condenser to convey coolant of a first phase to the condenser and receive coolant of a second phase from the condenser.

Abstract: A method of controlling an inverter includes receiving output voltage target waveforms for phases of an inverter, generating uncompensated midpoint duty cycle waveforms for the inverter phases, selecting an uncompensated midpoint duty cycle waveform for one of the inverter phases based on the magnitudes of the uncompensated midpoint duty cycle waveforms, and applying a compensation signal to the selected uncompensated midpoint duty cycle waveform. An inverter controller and inverter employ the method for generating switch command signals for solid-state switch devices of the inverter.
