Lecture 8 - Effect of Source Inductance on Rectifier Operation ELEC4240/9240 Power Electronics Lecture 8 - Effect of source inductance on rectifier operation Ideal VS real rectifier with source inductance The output DC voltages of the rectifier circuits discussed so far have been found by assuming that diode currents transfer (commutate) from one diode to another instantaneously. However this can not happen when the AC source has some inductance Ls. (Change of current through any inductance must take some time!). This source inductance is associated with the leakage inductance of the supply transformer and the inductance of the AC supply network to the input transformer. The commutation process (or the overlap process) forces more than one diode or a pair of diodes (in a bridge rectifier) to conduct simultaneously, resulting in a drop voltage from the output terminals which is proportional to the load current. The output dc voltage Vd of a rectifier falls with load current Id, by an amount which is much larger than additional voltage drop across the conducting diodes when the current through the diodes increases. The AC source inductance, which consists of the AC line and the input transformer leakage inductances, is mostly responsible for the additional voltage drop. Consider the half-wave diode rectifier shown below. D is Ls vs Id IDf D Load vs = Vmaxsinωt ∼ vi f Figure 8.1. Half-wave diode rectifier with source inductance. Let us assume that the load current Id is smooth and ripple-free (i.e., of constant, due to the highly inductive load). Assume also that for ωt > 0, the load current flows through the rectifier diode and that for ωt > π, it commutates to the free-wheeling diode Df. This transfer of the load current between the rectifier and the freewheeling diodes can not however be instantaneous, because of the source inductance Ls. This transfer takes place over a small commutation or overlap angle µ, during which time, the current gradually falls to zero in one circuit and it rises to Id in the other circuit at the same rate. Clearly, the two diodes simultaneously conduct during the commutation process (µ). Lecture 8 Effect of overlap on rectifier 8-1 F.

Rahman ELEC4240/9240 Power Electronics Because of the prolonged conduction of Df, the load voltage is clamped to zero for 0 < ωt <µ, resulting in some loss of positive voltage in the vo waveform. Consequently Vd is reduced, the extent of which depends on µ, which in turn depends on Ls and Id.

  • Chapter 12 Three-Phase Controlled Rectifiers ∫
    CHAPTER 12 THREE-PHASE CONTROLLED RECTIFIERS Author : Juan Dixon (Ph.D.) Department of Electrical Engineering Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Vicuña Mackenna 4860 Santiago, CHILE. 12.1 INTRODUCTION Three-phase controlled rectifiers have a wide range of applications, from small rectifiers to large High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems. They are used for electro-chemical process, many kinds of motor drives, traction equipment, controlled power supplies, and many other applications. From the point of view of the commutation process, they can be classified in two important categories: Line Commutated Controlled Rectifiers (Thyristor Rectifiers), and Force Commutated PWM Rectifiers. 12.2 LINE COMMUTATED CONTROLLED RECTIFIERS. 12.2.1 Three- phase hal - wavef rectifie r The figure 12.1 shows the three-phase half-wave rectifier topology. To control the load voltage, the half wave rectifier uses three, common-cathode thyristor arrangement. In this figure, the power supply, and the transformer are assumed ideal. The thyristor will conduct (ON state), when the anode-to-cathode voltage vAK is positive, and a firing current pulse iG is applied to the gate terminal. Delaying the firing pulse by an angle a does the control of the load voltage. The firing angle a is measured from the crossing point between the phase supply voltages, as shown in figure 12.2. At that point, the anode-to-cathode thyristor voltage vAK begins to be positive. The figure 12.3 shows that the possible range for gating delay is between a=0° and a=180°, but in real situations, because of commutation problems, the maximum firing angle is limited to around 160°.

  • Effect of Source Inductance on MOSFET Rise and Fall Times
    Effect of Source Inductance on MOSFET Rise and Fall Times Alan Elbanhawy Power industry consultant, email: [email protected] Abstract The need for advanced MOSFETs for DC-DC converters applications is growing as is the push for applications miniaturization going hand in hand with increased power consumption. These advanced new designs should theoretically translate into doubling the average switching frequency of the commercially available MOSFETs while maintaining the same high or even higher efficiency. MOSFETs packaged in SO8, DPAK, D2PAK and IPAK have source inductance between 1.5 nH to 7 nH (nanoHenry) depending on the specific package, in addition to between 5 and 10 nH of printed circuit board (PCB) trace inductance. In a synchronous buck converter, laboratory tests and simulation show that during the turn on and off of the high side MOSFET the source inductance will develop a negative voltage across it, forcing the MOSFET to continue to conduct even after the gate has been fully switched off. In this paper we will show that this has the following effects: • The drain current rise and fall times are proportional to the total source inductance (package lead + PCB trace) • The rise and fall times arealso proportional to the magnitude of the drain current, making the switching losses nonlinearly proportional to the drain current and not linearly proportional as has been the common wisdom • It follows from the above two points that the current switch on/off is predominantly controlled by the traditional package's parasitic

  • How to Select a Proper Inductor for Low Power Boost Converter
    Application Report SLVA797–June 2016 How to Select a Proper Inductor for Low Power Boost Converter Jasper Li ............................................................................................. Boost Converter Solution / ALPS 1 Introduction Traditionally, the inductor value of a boost converter is selected through the inductor current ripple. The average input current IL(DC_MAX) of the inductor is calculated using Equation 1. Then the inductance can be [1-2] calculated using Equation 2. It is suggested that the ∆IL(P-P) should be 20%~40% of IL(DC_MAX) . V x I = OUT OUT(MAX) IL(DC_MAX) VIN(TYP) x η (1) Where: • VOUT: output voltage of the boost converter. • IOUT(MAX): the maximum output current. • VIN(TYP): typical input voltage. • ƞ: the efficiency of the boost converter. V x() V+ V - V L = IN OUT D IN ΔIL(PP)- xf SW x() V OUT+ V D (2) Where: • ƒSW: the switching frequency of the boost converter. • VD: Forward voltage of the rectify diode or the synchronous MOSFET in on-state. However, the suggestion of the 20%~40% current ripple ratio does not take in account the package size of inductor. At the small output current condition, following the suggestion may result in large inductor that is not applicable in a real circuit. Actually, the suggestion is only the start-point or reference for an inductor selection. It is not the only factor, or even not an important factor to determine the inductance in the low power application of a boost converter. Taking TPS61046 as an example, this application note proposes a process to select an inductor in the low power application.

  • Inductor Selection Guide for 2.1 Mhz Class-D Amplifiers (Rev. A)
    Application Report SLOA242A–June 2017–Revised September 2019 Inductor Selection Guide for 2.1 MHz Class-D Amplifiers Gregg Scott ............................................................................................... Mid-Power Audio Amplifiers ABSTRACT All automotive Class-D audio amplifier designs require a filter on the output of the amplifier to remove the fundamental switching frequency. New technologies, like the 2.1-MHz high switching frequency used on TI’s latest automotive Class-D audio amplifiers, drive significant changes in the inductor requirements for the LC filter. A traditional 400-kHz Class-D automotive audio amplifier typically uses a 10 µH, while the 2.1-MHz higher switching frequency amplifier design can take advantage of a much smaller and lighter- weight inductor in the range of 3.3-µH (assuming that each amplifier provides equivalent output power). The important parameters are discussed to understand their effects on determining the proper inductor needed for high frequency class-D amplifiers.
