Abstract:
New WBG (Wide Band Gap) switches allow higher switching frequencies in inverters and new possibilities for motor drives. A study on the impact on motor drive systems using higher switching frequencies is presented in order to illustrate the advantages and challenges of new WBG devices. This paper presents experimental results to evaluate the impact of the switching frequency on high-frequency losses on the motor. Simulation of different device technologies is used to evaluate the inverter losses.
