  • Abstract
    The large power three-level voltage source converters with IGCTs have been widely used in medium or large power drive systems and will be promising in the near future. And the losses of the converter should be carefully considered during the design of the cooling system of the converter. In the paper, the losses of IGCT device are analyzed and verified with experiment. Then with the system simulation model of the large power converter, the losses of the devices and the efficiency of the converter are also studied.
