Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of a reverse-conducting IGBT (RC-IGBT) are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a circuit comprising a series connection of controllable switch components where at least one of the controllable switch components is an RC-IGBT. The circuit is operated by applying a pre-trigger pulse to the gate electrode of the RC-IGBT during reverse conduction of the RC-IGBT at a first time instant, the pre-trigger pulse corresponding to a turn-on gate pulse. Next, a turn-on gate pulse is applied at a second time instant to the other controllable switch component of the series connection for controlling the other controllable switch component to a conductive state such that the pre-trigger pulse and the turn-on gate pulse overlap, and ending the pre-trigger pulse after a delay time at the third time instant. The delay time is the time period when the turn-on gate pulse and the pre-trigger pulse overlap.

Abstract: A method is provided for balancing voltages of a DC link of a multi-level inverter, where the DC link is divided into two halves by a neutral point connection. The method includes injecting a periodic common-mode voltage injection signal to a common-mode voltage reference and a periodic power injection signal to a power reference of the inverter. The power injection signal has the same frequency as the common-mode voltage injection signal. A phase shift between the common-mode voltage injection signal and the power injection signal is constant. The amplitude of at least one of the common-mode voltage injection signal and the power injection signal is controlled on the basis of a difference between voltages over the two halves of the DC link. An apparatus is also provided for implementing the method.
