The power losses in switching devices have a direct effect on the maximum converter power. For a voltage source converter, the DC-link bus has a major influence on the power loss and safe operating area of the power devices. The Power Ring Film CapacitorTM integrated with an optimized bus structure has a measured inductance of around 5 nH. That allows the converter to switch with low turn-off losses, and allows the safe operation at higher dc-link voltages. This paper investigates the power transfer limits of a ShowerPower(r) cooled power stack.
