Abstract :
IGCTs have the features of high current, high voltage, high reliability, compact structure and low loss. They have been widely used in large power voltage source inverter systems now, and they have extensive application prospect. In the paper, the large power three-level converter with IGCTs is introduced. Then with a series experiments, the converter is tested. The efficiency of the converter is also investigated. The experiment result shows that the output power of the large power three-level converter with IGCTs is in the same level as the similar converters in the world. And the converter shows excellent performance in driving a linear motor in a traction system.
