Abstract:
Introduced in 2015, the LinPak (1700 V, 2 x 1000 A) was designed specifically to enable easy scaling of the output power of Voltage Source Converters through paralleling of phase leg IGBT modules. The LinPak has been tested under typical application conditions. In this paper, we will show the excellent dynamic current sharing of the LinPak and methods to achieve the best performance in all operating conditions, including short circuit SOA.
