In power transistor switching circuit have shunt snubber(dv/dt limiting capacitor) and series snubber (di/dt limiting inductor). The shunt snubber is used to reduce the turn-off switching loss and the series snubber is used to reduce the turn-on switching loss. Design procedures are derived for selecting the capacitance, inductor and resistance to limit the peak voltage and current values. The action of snubber is analyzed and applied to the design for safety PWM inverter.

In general, the generated harmonics and noise of the PWM inverter are affected by PWM switching method, switching frequency, dv/dt and di/dt. Since multilevel inverters are often applied to the high power system, and operates with low switching frequency, theyproduce large size of harmonic contents and noise. Thus it is necessary to install output filters in the multilevel inverter. In this paper a filter design approach for the harmonic and noise reduction the three phase induction motor driving system using H-bridge 7-level inverter system is presented. The passive filter that has low cost and simple structure and can effectively reduce harmonics and noise, is designed and applied to the three phase induction motor drive having multilevel inverter system. The designed system is implemented and verified by simulation and experiments.

In motor application, High efficiency is important. So Design engineer select small gate resistor for lower switching. But There is side effect with small gate resistor. It makes large dv/dt and system request large EMI filter. It makes price increase. This paper introduce about gate drive IC which have solution both of lower loss and EMI issue.

In this paper, we investigate a filtering technique to reduce the adverse effect of long motor leads on H-bridge cascaded 7-level inverter fed ac motor drive. The switching surge voltage becomes the major cause to occur the insulation failure by serious voltage stress in the stator winding of high voltage induction motor. However, the effect of switching surge appears un seriousin high voltage induction motor than low voltage induction motor. Consequently, we demonstrated that the filter connected to the motor terminals greatly reduces the transient voltage stress and ringing, moreover we show lowers the dv/dt of the inverter switching pulse. The results of simulation show the suppression of dv/dt and the reduced peak voltage at the motor end of a long cable.

With the advent of fast power devices, the high dv/dt voltage produced by PWM inverts have been found to cause EMI noise, shaft voltage and bearing current. This paper describes the application of newly developed Conducted EMI reduction SVPWM technique in induction motor drives. The newly developed common mode voltage reduction SVPWM technique don't use any zero-vector states for inverter control, hence it can restrict the common mode voltage more than conventional PWM technique. The validity of the proposed technique by software approach is verified through simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, a single-switch ZVZCS quasi-resonant CLL isolated DC-DC converter for driving a low-power (less than 100 W) 32'' LED backlighting liquid crystal display television (LCD TV) is proposed. The proposed converter exhibits both forward and flyback operational characteristics. All semiconductors are activated and deactivated under the soft switching conditions during the switching transition without additional active devices. The switching frequency varies less than about 10 kHz for load variations, leading to minimizing the efficiency reduction under light load. Furthermore, the low di/dt and dv/dt by soft switching enhance the electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance above 1 MHz. A theoretical analysis is described in detail, and a 72-W prototype converter verifies the validity of the analysis.

SMPS는 수위칭 소자를 이용하여 효과적으로 전력을 변환시킨다. 여기에서 가장 중요한 파라미터가 스위칭 주파수이다. 스위칭 주파수를 증가시킴에 따라 전원장치의 소형경량화가 가능하다. 그러나 기존 PWM 컨버터에서는 치명적인 단점으로 스위칭 주파수를 증가시킴에 따라 스위칭 손실 및 EMI 문제를 야기한다. 특히 SMPS의 동작은 상당히 큰 di/dt와 dv/dt에 기인한 EMI 전도성 잡음을 발생시킨다. EMI를 감소시키는 방법들로는 고전적이고 고가인 입력필터 혹은 주 전력단에 능동필터를 첨가하는 방법 등이 있어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 DC/DC 포워드 컨버터에 대해 EMI 잡음 발생원 및 잡음 경로를 분석하였다. SMPS에서 방출되는 전도성 잡음은 스위칭 주파수와 그 고주파 주파수에 집중되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일정 출력전압에는 큰 영향 없이 스위칭 주파수를 약간씩 변조하게 되는 RPWM 제어를 통하여 전도성 잡음의 주파수 대역을 측면대역으로 분사시키어 전체 첨두치를 저감시키고, 고조파 스펙트럼을 개선할 수 있다.

Standard Gate Turn Off (GTO) Thyristor drive technology results in inhomogeneous turn-on and turn-off transients which in turn needs costly dv/dt and di/dt snubber circuits. Added to this GTO is bulky in size, needs external cooling, slower switching time etc. The development of high voltage Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) have given new device advantage in the areas where they compete with conventional GTO technology. Indian Railway has developed first IGBT based traction converter and was commissioned in November 2006. Some of the supremacy of IGBT are smaller in size, no external cooling is required, built in power supply which enhances reliability, lower switching losses which leads to higher efficiency, reduced gate drive, high frequency operation in real time etc. These advantages are highlighted along with IGBT Traction system in operation.

Higher operating frequency provides rising output power from modern power electronics devices. Nevertheless, the switch-mode operation results in EMI which is produced due to large di/dt and/or dv/dt. The methods to reduce EMI are the use of classic and expensive input filters or the addition of the active filter into the main circuits. In this paper, by using the randomized PWM the EMI effect can be reduced and implementation of the proposed control scheme into the forward converter can improve the harmonic spectrum as well

The MOS-controlled thyristor(MCT) is a new power semi-conductor device that combines four layers thyristor structure presenting regenerative action and MOS-gate providing controlled turn-on and turn-off. The MCT has very fast switching speed owing to voltage controlled MOS-gate, and very low on-state voltage drop resulting from regenerative action of four layers thyristor structure. In addition, because of a higher dv/dt rating and di/dt rating, gate drive circuit and snubber circuit can be simpler comparing to other power switching devices. So recently much interest and endeavor is being applied to develop the performance and ratings of the MCT. This paper describes the switching characteristic of the MCT for its practical applications and presents a model for PSPICE circuit simulation. The model for PSPICE circuit simulation is compared to the experimental result using MCTV75P60F1 made by Harris co..
