Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, an offline evaluation method for the cooling capability of three-phase insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) inverters is presented, which can better emulate real working conditions. With a properly designed sudden-stop control sequence, the conventional junction temperature monitoring method at a low current is used to calculate the junction temperature before the sudden stop of an inverter. This can solve the challenging switching loss calculation issue in conventional methods. Finally, the feasibility, control sequence, and electrical behaviors of the proposed method are validated through experimental tests.

Key words: Junction temperature monitoring, IGBT, conduction voltage
