Abstract:
The three-level (3L) Active Neutral Point Clamped (ANPC) topology was proposed in 2001 and it can overcome the uneven loss distribution issue by replacing the clamping diodes of the NPC with active switches with anti-parallel diodes. Due to its obvious advantage compare to NPC topology, the ANPC power module is becoming very popular in the market. In order to understand more about the performance of power module, it is necessary to have an actual inverter system to simulate all kinds of conditions in the field, based on this need, an application test system with 3 phase ANPC has been developed, which can test with more modules compare to single phase at same time, to perform test such as burn in test, junction temperature test and so on, with this system level test platform, all kinds of test can be performed.
