Inverter DC reverse discharge

Do EV traction inverters need a DC link active discharge?

Every EV traction inverter requires a DC link active discharge as a safety-critical function. The discharge circuit is required to discharge the energy in the DC link capacitor under the following conditions and requirements: Power transistor on, off control using the TPSI3050-Q1.

What happens to DC-link voltage flyback converter during discharge phase?

As a consequence of the DC-link voltage flyback converter’s output power during the discharge phase. is subjected to load c onditions. Fig. 2. Flowchart of d-q current reference implem ented during Discharge. further minimize transi ent power fluctuations. methods initiated at the max imum s peed. The first winding-

What is a DC-DC converter & traction inverter?

The DC-DC converter uses peak current mode control (PCMC) techniques with a phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) topology and synchronous rectification (SR) scheme. The traction inverter stage uses a silicon carbide (SiC) power stage, driven by the UCC5870-Q1 smart gate device.

How is power dissipated in an inverter?

The power dissipated by the the inverter’s housi ng or through a cooling s ystem. the current. The discharge energy is used to charge the Low- voltage battery (12 V) us ed as an auxiliary bat tery. the Flyback transformer. A charging current of 1C is used to Ampere ho urs (Ah). The blue trace i n Fig.1 illustrates the energy

Can a flyback converter provide a low-voltage discharge circuit?

The study introduces a low-voltage discharge circuit enabled by a flyback converter using MOSFET in linear mode, presenting two distinct approaches. The paper includes a simulation comparison of winding-based discharge with the proposed Hybrid discharge technique.

How do EV traction inverters work?

To control the voltage so that the voltage does not exceed 50 V (touch safe), the auxiliary power supply has to turn on and power up safety-relevant circuits that can discharge the DC link caps (active discharge) or actively short circuit the motor. Every EV traction inverter requires a DC link active discharge as a safety-critical function.
