Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of research on a novel AC drive with fully integrated matrix converter that implements bus bars and active gate driving technique for overvoltage minimization during power switch commutation. This overview includes main features of power IGBT gate driving, principles of bus-bars, as well as active gate driver for power IGBT overvoltage protection.
