In this paper, the inverter switch losses of BLDC motor for three types of PWM methods and power devices were analyzed. When the BLDC motor is driven at low currents, the inverter switch losses for MOSFET are low because MOSFET operates like resistance. However, the inverter switch losses for IGBT are higher than MOSFET due to its large turn-off losses. Moreover, synchronous rectification switching method is adaptable because MOSFET has 2-channel. So, MOSFET can be driven with more low impedance and losses. For low power inverter with MOSFET, the power losses of unified PWM are lower than that of unipolar and bipolar PWM. Proposed method and losses analysis results are verified by examination and simulation using Matlab/Simulink.

In response to this inverter microwave oven has been developed to improve high speed cooking time & energy saving performance. The voltage resonating inverter has a defect in switching element that works at 5 or 6times higher than input voltage. Especially, it is very difficult to choose the switching device is very high for the 220 (V) commercial voltage. In this paper, it is proposed the optimum method to realize the turbo 1200(W) output power for microwave oven that is employed the 900(V) IGBT with decreasing operating voltage of the switching component by making the 220(V), 1000(W) inverter through the active clamp voltage resonating inverter.

For the improvement of welding performance, high-efficiency inverter system was designed and applied that system to the conventional large scale Flashbutt welder. The inverter systems are consists of full bridge PWM power control system and DSP controller. This inverter system has increased switching frequency of power control system of Flashbutt welder. For the test of application effects, we compared an our inverter control system with a conventional thyristor control system. In the results, we confirmed that our system has decreased the welding spatter amouts and improved welding performance.

Since recent inverters are formed IGBT VVVF inverter its switching speed has been increased relative to the conventional inverters and the motor design based on the switching surge voltage at the inverter output is very important factor. Therefore, motor and inverter should be designed to have the optimal characteristics by considering the mutually limited conditions. On this research the design technology characteristics for inverter driving traction moor is compared to the products in Korea and the analysis is performed. Thus, it is intend to re-estimate the technology level and introduce the products by HHI, which is driving on Seoul subway line 6 since December, 2000.

일반적으로 사용되는 전력 스위치 소자에는 IGBT, MOSFET 등이 있다. 그 중 IGBT 소자는 용량 특성이 우수하여 고 용량 인버터에서 사용가능하다는 장점이 있으나 턴 오프 동작 시 손실 특성과 다이오드 역 회복 특성으로 인해 고속 스위칭 동작에는 부적합하다는 단점이 있다. 최근에는 SiC를 사용한 MOSFET의 개발이 진행되어 MOSFET의 대용량화 및 스위칭 손실저감이 이루어졌고 이에 따라, 본 논문에서는 SiC MOSFET을 이용한 고속 스위칭 인버터를 제안하였으며 그 특성을 기존의 IGBT 소자를 이용한 인버터와 비교분석하고 이를 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

3상 인버터의 PWM 구동시 인버터 파워모듈의 IGBT와 Diode에서는 도통 손실 및 스위칭 손실이 발생하며 이러한 손실은 소자의 정션 온도를 증가시킨다. 하이브리드 차량(HEV)의 경우 다양한 주행 조건에서 IGBT와 Diode가 제한 온도를 초과하지 않도록 해야한다. 본 연구에서는 순시 전압 및 전류에 대한 3상PWM 인버터의 손실을 계산하고 열모델을 통해 소자의 온도를 파악함으로써 하이브리드 차량의 성능 예측에 활용하였다. 열모델은 파워모듈 각 상의 IGBT와 Diode 사이의 상호 열전달을 고려하였으며 시험 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과 비교를 통해 열모델의 타당성을 살펴보았다. 제안된 모델을 통해 다양한 주행 조건에서 하이브리드 차량의 성능 분석을 실시하였다.

This paper presents a novel 3-phase IGBT module called the SPM (Smart Power Module). This is a new design developed to provide a very compact, low cost, high performance and reliable motor drive system. Several distinct design concepts were used to achieve the highly integrated functionality in a new cost-effective small package. An overall description to the SPM is given and actual application issues such as electrical characteristics, circuit configurations, thermal performance and power ratings are discussed

This paper deals with the design of heat dissipation system using the forced air cooling method. It suggests the method of appropriately dividing the whole thermodynamic system into analytical subsystems and also presents the correspondent analytic or experimental equations to subsystems. The experimental results on the designed thermodynamic system for 400kw 1GBT inverter show the validity of the proposed design method in the steady state.
