    Abstract: An optocoupler circuit includes a switch connected in parallel with a photo LED, the photo LED having an anode and a cathode. The anode is connected to a power supply via a decoupling capacitor. The optocoupler circuit is arranged so that the switch turns on the photo LED when in the open position. When closed, the switch directs current flow through a series resistor to ground and shunts current flow away from the photo LED to turn off the photo LED. A second capacitor is connected to the cathode of the photo LED. The second capacitor is wired in series with a second switch and a current limiting resistor connected to ground. The first switch and second switch operate in complementary states to prevent the cathode connected capacitor from discharging. The disclosed optocoupler circuit provides the ability to function at increased levels of common mode voltage transients.

    Abstract: A converter module for a variable speed drive having a semiconductor device for precharge is described. The precharge circuit includes switching modules, one switching module with a first semiconductor switch connected in parallel or series with a second semiconductor switch. The second semiconductor switch is switched on and off during the precharge operation in order to limit the inrush current into the DC Link. After the precharge operation, the second semiconductor switch is turned on all the time and acts like a diode. The second semiconductor device may have a lower maximum current rating than the main semi-conductor devices. The lower current rated semiconductor device experience the same short circuit current as the higher current rated semiconductor device. The lower current rated semiconductor device can be supplied with a larger gate to emitter voltage than the higher current rated semiconductor device to equalize current between semiconductor devices.
