摘要: Fault protection of a voltage source converter is provided. An apparatus has a chain-link circuit in series with a director switch. The chain-link circuit includes cells including an energy storage element and cell switching elements connected with anti-parallel diodes. Each cell switching element has a cell switching element controller. The director switch includes director switch units, each having a director switching element and a director switch unit controller. Each cell switching element controller monitors for a fault current and turns-off its associated cell switching element and reports a fault event to a fault controller. Each director switch unit controller monitors for a fault current and reports a fault event to the fault controller but the director switch unit control keeps its associated director switching element turned-on. The fault controller monitors for reports of fault events to order the cell switching elements of at least some of the cells to turn-off.

摘要: A converter includes a transformer, a main switch, an active clamp circuit, and a control circuit. The transformer includes a primary winding and a secondary winding, and is configured to receive an input voltage and output an output voltage to a load. The main switch is coupled between the primary winding and a primary ground terminal. The active clamp circuit includes an auxiliary switch and a clamp capacitor. The auxiliary switch is coupled to the clamp capacitor in series, and the active clamp circuit is coupled in parallel to the two terminals of the primary winding or the main switch, and is configured to clamp the voltage across the main switch when it is OFF. The control circuit outputs an auxiliary switch control signal to turn on the auxiliary switch when the voltage across the main switch is at its first peak of the resonant voltage.

摘要: The present invention relates to an electrical circuit arrangement with an active discharge circuit including at least one electrical switching element, by means of which the circuit arrangement can be discharged in controlled manner. The circuit arrangement includes a RC snubber element with capacitor and resistor for damping voltage or current peaks in the circuit arrangement, wherein the electrical switching element is integrated in the RC snubber element and connected in parallel to the capacitor of the RC snubber. This enables the discharge circuit to be designed in a manner that is economical in terms of space and cost. The discharge circuit uses the heat sink for the RC snubber element and therefore does not need any additional heat dissipation systems.

摘要: An apparatus (400A, 400B, 400C, 400D, 500A, 500B, 800) supplies power to an output thereof. The apparatus includes: an isolation transformer (110) and a rectifier (120). The isolation transformer has a parasitic capacitance (Cp) between one of its input terminals (1S/1F) and one of its output terminals (2S/2F). The rectifier has a pair of input terminals connected to the output terminals of the isolation transformer, and a pair of output terminals connected across the apparatus' output. The rectifier includes a plurality of diodes (D1/D2/D3/D4) connected in a bridge. The apparatus also includes a compensation device for compensating for an increase in an output voltage across the output of the apparatus due to a charge pump effect of the parasitic capacitance. The compensation device includes at least one compensation capacitor (410, 510/520, 810/812) connected across one of the diodes of the bridge.
