Dear Friends,

A power semiconductor may look impressive on a datasheet, but getting it to perform in a complete motor drive is where the real engineering begins. Reference designs that bring the power stage, gate driving, and supporting hardware together can save a considerable amount of time when evaluating new technologies and optimizing the final system.

Find all my magazines from 2006 on in our free archive on bodospower.com. There is no better way to communicate. We all share one world. As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Kind regards,

Complete B6 inverter reference design for ACIM and PMSM motor drives

Developing high-efficiency motor drives requires a power stage that combines performance, flexibility and ease of evaluation. The EVAL_10KW_B6_SIC400V is a complete reference design for three-phase B6 inverters up to 10 kW, supporting both AC induction motors (ACIM) and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) applications.

Based on CoolSiC™ MOSFET 400 V G2 technology and an isolated gate-driver architecture, the solution enables evaluation of switching performance and rapid optimization of motor control applications. The modular platform includes a power board, gate-driver board and capacitor board, providing flexibility for adapting the inverter to specific requirements.
