Abstract: A method of clamping an output current of a three-phase power converter is provided. The three-phase power converter includes three switching bridge arms and provides a three-phase output voltage command, and each switching bridge arm has an upper switch and a lower switch connected in series. The method includes steps of: determining that the output current is greater than a first current threshold to activate a current clamping control procedure, comparing a carrier signal with the three-phase output voltage command to turn on the lower switches by a first zero vector when the carrier signal is rising and turn on the upper switches by a second zero vector when the carrier signal is falling, determining that the output current is greater than a second current threshold to activate an overcurrent protection procedure, wherein the second current threshold is greater than the first current threshold.

Abstract: A method of controlling a power converter is provided. The power converter generates a three-phase output power by switching an input power through a plurality of switches. The method includes steps of: acquiring a three-phase output command corresponding to the three-phase output power; comparing the three-phase output command with a control carrier to acquire a voltage phase angle corresponding to the three-phase output command; acquiring a three-phase current value of the three-phase output power; detecting the voltage phase angle and a positive/negative change of the three-phase current value to decide a zero-sequence voltage; composing the zero-sequence voltage and the three-phase output command to acquire a three-phase output expected value; comparing the three-phase expected values with the control carrier to acquire a turned-on time of each switch; and switching the input power to adjust the three-phase output power according to the turned-on time of each switch.

Abstract: A switch short-circuited diagnosis method includes steps of: determining an initial voltage interval of multiple voltage intervals according to voltage relationships between voltages of a first phase wire, a second phase wire, and a third phase wire; performing a switch short-circuited diagnosis of a first bidirectional switch module in the three consecutive voltage intervals from the initial voltage interval, and including steps of: turning on a first switch branch, a second switch branch, or a third switch branch of the first bidirectional switch module according to the voltage relationships between the voltages of the first, second and third phase wires, determining whether an overcurrent occurs to diagnose whether the first switch branch, the second switch branch, or the third switch branch of the first bidirectional switch module is in a short-circuited state, and performing the switch short-circuited diagnosis for the next voltage interval.

Abstract: An indirect matrix converter includes a rectifier module, an inverter module, and a control unit. The rectifier module includes three parallel-connected T-type bridge arms, and each T-type bridge arm includes a bidirectional switch and a power bridge arm. The power bridge arm includes a first switch and a second switch connected to the first switch in series. One end of the bidirectional switch is coupled to a first AC power source, and the other end thereof is coupled to a common contact between the first switch and the second switch. The control unit outputs a plurality of control signals to control the rectifier module and the inverter module, so that the first AC power source is converted into a second AC power source, or the second AC power source is converted into the first AC power source.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus is coupled to an AC power source, a critical load, and a general load. The power supply apparatus includes a UPS, a generator system, a power conversion system, and a controller. The power conversion system includes a first power conversion path and a second power conversion path. The first power conversion path is connected to the critical load and an output side, and the second power conversion path is connected to the general load and an input side. The first power conversion path and the second power conversion path are jointly connected to a DC bus. When the controller determines that the AC power source is abnormal, the controller controls disconnecting the AC power source, and activates the UPS to supply power to the critical load so as to enable the first power conversion path and disable the second power conversion path.

Abstract: A power drive circuit includes a power conversion module, a plurality of gate drivers, a waveform processing unit, a control unit, a weighting unit, and a comparator. Each gate driver includes a drive resistance setting value. The waveform processing unit outputs a current absolute value waveform of an AC power. The weighting unit generates a trigger voltage. When the comparator determines that the current absolute value waveform is greater than the trigger voltage, the comparator outputs a slew rate control signal to each of the gate drivers. When the gate driver receives the slew rate control signal, each of the gate drivers decreases the drive resistance setting value of the gate driver.
