Abstract:
Due to the requirements of high efficiency, high power density and lower cost for railway traction converter, the multilevel converter technology has received increasing attention in recent years. Considering reliability of railway traction system,current research mainly focuses on three-level converter technology. For three-level converters, employing hybrid silicon carbide (SiC) solutions allows for achieving performance characteristics nearly equivalent full SiC solutions and significantly reduce costs. In this paper, the design guideline and experiment test of 3.3kV hybrid SiC three level AC/DC converter are given.
