Abstract :
The power-loss models for different switching states of IGCTs and diodes in MV (medium voltage) three-level NPC (neutral point clamped) inverters are presented in this paper. The models, simulation implementation and the revisional experiments on IGCT test platform are described in details. The relation between the power losses and the other elements of the inverter is analyzed and discussed.
